The merge is done :=)
Go ahead with your welcomed patches.

As told in the task CERTI cvs HEAD may now be used
to deploy heterogeneous federation, i.e.

rtig and federate may run on different machine flavor
(Windows 32/64bit, Linux 32/64bits, ix86, sparc, etc....)
without trouble.

Please note that CERTI handles heterogeneity BUT 
your federate may not since UAV transmitted 
value (in HLA 1.3) are not currently encoded by the RTI.
You may have to update your application in order to take care
of that part.

In order to avoid a big loss between my merge and previously
already merged patches I did release CERTI 3.2.7 as an
intermediate release. 
CERTI 3.2.7 is CERTI 3.2.6 + all fixes and patches before the merge.

So CERTI 3.2.7 does not handle heterogeneity
But CERTI CVS HEAD does.

I will make a new CERTI release (3.2.8 or may be 3.3.0) 
as soon as we are all confident that my changes did not break 
something for our applications currently using CERTI.

Please test and report any regression.

I did test CERTI billard and the HLA_Tutorial successfully
They were tested on non-heterogeneous machine since 
UAV do not currently carry portable value as told before.
