+- Add an sse4 algorithm to CPU mining.
+- Fix CPU mining with other algorithms not working.
+- Rename the poclbm file to ensure a new binary is built since.
+- We now are guaranteed to have one fresh work item after a block change and we
+should only discard staged requests.
+- Don't waste the work we retrieve from a longpoll.
+- Provide a control lock around global bools to avoid racing on them.

 output buffers.

+get so change to httpget.
