Hi Tobias,

that sounds like a great idea. We are internally currently working on 
preparing graphite for the isl 0.13.0 release, which is a large 
improvement and e.g. provides a computeout facility that allows us to 
stop dependence analysis in case the dependence problem is too complex 
to solve. This would address some of the open graphite bugs. Even before 
this is ready, upgrading to CLooG 0.18.1 and isl-0.12.1 would probably 
be a good thing to do.

Cheers,
Tobias
