New features:
"Binning" (automatic model selection) now works for some spice models. 
The BSIM3 and BSIM4 models now support binning.

Others can be made to support binning in the future, by a change
in each wrapper.h.  For now, just the BSIM models support binning.
I believe this is consistent with commercial simulators.

Bug fixes:

Certain user errors could cause a crash when using spice model
plugins.  This is fixed.

Existing binning, with the embedded (modelgen based) BSIM models
could fail when the binned parameters use expressions.  This is fixed.

As usual, to get started you need only the main package 
gnucap-2009-xx-xx.tar.gz .
