#847: Support OpenCL source code

 Reporter:  eschnett     |       Owner:     
     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new
 Priority:  major        |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus       |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 OpenCL source code needs to be compiled at run time, and thus needs to be
 passed as string to the OpenCL run-time library. This makes writing OpenCL
 source code inconvenient.

 This patch adds *.cl as supported file type to Cactus. *.cl files are
 transformed into globally visible strings, with a name consisting of the
 thorn name and file name. These strings can then be easily used at run
 time to build and run OpenCL code.

 Since *.cl files are converted to strings (and are not OpenCL-compiled at
 build time), there are no CL* options specifying compiler type, compiler
 flags etc.
