 Version 1.5.5 - August 16, 2011
 - Rework entirely the GPU restart code. Strike a balance between code that
 re-initialises the GPU entirely so that soft hangs in the code are properly
 managed, but if a GPU is completely hung, the thread restart code fails
 gracefully, so that it does not take out any other code or devices. This will
 allow cgminer to keep restarting GPUs that can be restarted, but continue
 mining even if one or more GPUs hangs which would normally require a reboot.
 - Add --submit-stale option which submits all shares, regardless of whether they
 would normally be considered stale.
 - Keep options in alphabetical order.
 - Probe for slightly longer for when network conditions are lagging.
 - Only display the CPU algo when we're CPU mining.
 - As we have keepalives now, blaming network flakiness on timeouts appears to
 have been wrong.     Set a timeout for longpoll to 1 hour, and most other
 network connectivity to 1 minute.
 - Simplify output code and remove HW errors from CPU stats.
 - Simplify code and tidy output.
 - Only show cpu algo in summary if cpu mining.
 - Log summary at the end as per any other output.
 - Flush output.
 - Add a linux-usb-cgminer guide courtesy of Kano.
 Version 1.5.4 - August 14, 2011
 - Add new option: --monitor <cmd> Option lets user specify a command <cmd> that
