It's done! Note that this will NOT be used for electricsheep for a while, but you can certainly use it for your own renders...

Brief changelog:

03/18/09 Major upgrade :
- 28 variations added, mostly from the sourceforge plugins pack
- significant speed optimization of variations
- setting earlyclip env var on commandline will enable an alternate
calculation of color values, resulting in better antialiasing
- 'highlight_power' flame element controls the white highlights in
dense areas, eliminating the hue shift bug
- Apophysis chaos and solo xform/plotmode features have been
implemented. solo/plotmode are promoted to floating point
'visibility'. visibility and chaos are both interpolatable.
- <motion> tag now available for xforms...allows cyclic variation
of any regular xform parameter/coef/post.

...and the DE filter is threaded now, too.
