DAVEM TPF Grant#2 Auguest 2014 report

The main things I worked on this month were:

* making the op_private OP flags and data be auto-generated
  from a single consistent source. Its actually complete now, although
  wasn't at the end of last month, which is the period this report covers.

* some more work on my OP_MULTIDEREF optimisation. The basic optimisation
  works, but it still needs work on being handled by B::* and by the
  "use of uninitialised value" warning code, and tests need adding.

* reviewing, discussing and applying Syber's method call optimisation
  work

The optimist believes that he lives in the best of all possible worlds.
As does the pessimist.
