Dear Jean,

thanks for your work!

I built a recent git checkout of the kms38-branch on both a i5-3320M
(w/ HD4000) and an AMD FirePro V4900. Works absolutely fine, the only
minor issue is that there seemingly is a small performance regression
w/ clover. However, I didn't yet have time to dig into this and make
sure that indeed something is off.

HTH
