improve greatly mandelbrot demo:
- much better coloring - determine max number of iterations and choice between float and double at runtime based on zoom level - do draft renderings with increasing resolution before final rendering

*** Mandelbrot demo ***
-Demonstrates:
-* coefficient-wise operations on a matrix to perform general array computations which
- may not have anything to do with linear algebra
-* impact of vectorization on performance
+Controls:
+* Left mouse button to center view at a point.
+* Drag vertically with left mouse button to zoom in and out.
+
+Be sure to enable SSE2 or AltiVec to improve performance.
+
+The number of iterations, and the choice between single and double precision, are
+determined at runtime depending on the zoom level.
