Thanks for the clarification.

I would appreciate it if you could do the app_plan() modifications to
make sure opencl_nvidia is available to everybody for testing.

It's not supplied by the scheduler.
It's supplied by the client, after it decides which GPU to use.

You can try them right now;
just define an opencl_nvidia plan class,
and add a clause to app_plan() in which you check for
driver version 197.13 or later.
I can add this if you want.

ATI: we need to wait until ATI includes OpenCL support in their driver.
Asking volunteers to install an SDK,
and having the client check for it, is not viable.
