New versions of Tanger and TinySTM (including TinySTM/Tanger integration)

New versions of Tanger and TinySTM are available for download (0.5.1 and 0.7.2, respectively).

The most important changes are that TinySTM now includes the necessary wrappers to provide the interface expected by Tanger, and that some features have been added and some bugs fixed (see below for details). You can now easily use TinySTM as Tanger's STM by executing something similar to
`make STMLIBDIR=/path/to/tinySTM-0.7.2/lib/` if you are using the makefiles in the tests/performance directory (have a look at Makefile.common to see how it works).

If you have any questions, please direct them to the mailing list or to tanger_at_tinystm_dot_org.
