New H.264/AVC reference software release JM 12.2

Dear experts,

I uploaded a new version of the JM reference software to my web site at:

http://iphome.hhi.de/suehring/tml/

This version is mostly a bugfix and cleanup release. Most important it
contains an impressive decoder speedup (with gcc 4 the decoder is twice
as fast) and fixes a weighted prediction mismatch which was introduced
in JM 12.1.

The work on integrating the new 4:4:4 profiles is still ongoing. This
release contains only some of the necessary modifications.

Please the the changelog below for a complete list of changes.

Best regards,
Karsten
