Re: announcement: breve 2.2 beta available for all platforms

Speaking of optimizations, one thing I've noticed is that when lots of 
Mobile objects are colliding vclip.cc complains a lot:

Error at source file "simulation/vclip.cc", line 1821:
depth less than 10!
Error at source file "simulation/vclip.cc", line 1821:
depth less than 10!
Error at source file "simulation/vclip.cc", line 1821:
depth less than 10!
Error at source file "simulation/vclip.cc", line 1821:
depth less than 10!

Happens in a few different places in that region of the code.  When 
thousands of these collisions are happening I'm sure just to output 
these error messages to the log file must slow things down.  I can 
think of a couple of possible fixes:
  - set a runtime flag to inhibit error messages
  - compile-time flag to do same.  Haven't looked to see if there is 
such a thing because I don't have facility to recompile (MacOS X GUI 
version).
  - have the code count error messages and just report that there were 
many identical errors.

BTW, some things that didn't work for me in 2.1 do work in 2.2 beta, 
such as the music demos (used to crash breve).

Thanks for all your good work, all!
