hm ... good question ... the only way i know is the return value of
mlockall...

well, maybe two or three more people ;-)
the problem is, that a difference in the api might result difficulties
for external developers ... some of my externals will only work with
devel, since they are using the fifo, idle-callback or simd/runtime
dispatching api...
also thomas's flext uses the timestap for garray graphic updates and the
idle callbacks (well, at least flext always compiles against stable)

yes and no ... devel_ is usually usable. there are only short times
every once in a while, that it won't compile or run. unlike development
branches of other projects devel_ is supposed to be usable ... of course
this isn't possible ...
this is why i think that both tagging "stable" versions of devel_
(something i haven't done, yet) and providing binaries definitely makes
sense...
good night ... tim
