First Beta of Release 1.0

I am pleased to announce the first beta of the intitial release of likwid.

There was a complete rewrite of the perfmon module. Many problems and bugs were fixed.

New features are:

* Full support of uncore events on Intel Nehalem
* Much improved output for likwid-perfCtr
* New flexible marker API to measure multiple named code regions
* Improved performance groups (still some work to do)

The multiplex feature, which allows to measure many events in one run is delayed
for the next major release.

Stay tuned and give this beta a try. Of course any feedback is appriciated.
