I've deleted the old GitHub repository and created a new one:

https://github.com/binghe/mcl

Now it has all revision history migrated from the old hg repository on
code.google.com.

Hi Zach,

Can I donate this new "mcl" repository to sharplispers group? I don't think
I deserve to "own" this repository, afterall I'm not the major contributor
at all.

Regards,

Chun Tian
