OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140526200520-r18473-gd1c84e1

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (d1c84e1, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (34dfc7c, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 (except for a6a85a6, a patch to avoid hammering the GUI, which has been replaced with a static spinner)
  
• Includes Python regex package for evaluation purposes. Initial benchmarking indicates generally positive (and in some cases, significant) performance gains. See this post for a description of how to test effectiveness of this package with addons
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock3
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.14.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-master-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock3 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  
• FIQ FSM is enabled by default. See initial post for more details.
