I've continue to make progress on the BPT engine. It now compiles, works, and is fast on Windows as well as on Linux. The speedup is about the same on Windows as on Linux.

Along the way, I've fixed a bug in FastSetOfMonads::isMemberOf(), and have also reimplemented some of the functions in include/string_func.h, so that they don't use the C standard library; functions such as hex2char, octal2char, char2hex, and char2upperhex.  This means that mqldump() will most likely be faster as well (haven't tested this yet, though!).
