This miner checks *all* solutions and doesn't throw away nonces like poclbm and DiabloMiner do to save bandwidth.
Could you explain this to a layman? What is significant about this? Thank you.

update: miner now measures effective hashrate by inspecting actual results returned by GPU (instead of counting kernel runs). Returned hashrate is reliable after approx. 30 min runtime
Added poolmode (-m). Submits all H==0 results instead of only the best one.

tcatm, thank you for this miner.
Just wanted to mention that since yesterday (Feb 4) poclbm and Diablo miners changed the way of getting kernel results back to host, reducing lost results to below 0.03% (or even less).

Unpatched, this gets me 124.5 MH/s on my Radeon HD 5850. With a patch from tcatm on IRC, I got up to 259.5 MH/s. Still short of m0m's 265 MH/s, but getting closer.
552 Mhash/s on 5970 @ 725 MHz
