Getting rid of unused variables warnings
Getting rid of the parallel benchmarks in bench.c (makes Windows very difficult to compile)
Re-adding the rc variable as a global one
Changed blosc.org -> blosc.pydata.org in most of the cases
Getting ready for 1.2.2 release.
Updated announcement.
Forgot to mention that bench.c can be compiled on Win again.
Move the rc variable where it really belongs
local var 'rc2' introduced so as to avoid a collision with global 'rc'
blosc.pydata.org -> www.blosc.org, and email contact change
Small changes for next releases.
Post 1.2.2 release actions done
Added blosc_init and blosc_destroy new APIs
Initialize from blosc_set_nthreads for keeping the pre1.2.3 behaviour
Releasing 1.2.3 RC1
Forgot second argument for mutex initialization
Acknowledge Oscar for the init/destroy suggestion,
Getting ready for 1.2.3 (final)
Post 1.2.3 release actions done
use calloc to get a zero memory block instead of a memset loop

improves performance of small compressions by up to 40% with compilers
that can't optimize the loop to a memset
