Added notes on:

- Incompatible BCEL versions and what we think the solution is ;)
- CflowStack changes to improve performance for multi-threaded cflow apps.

+<p><b>Watch for problems due to incompatible BCEL versions.</b>
+AspectJ 1.2 includes a different version of BCEL than AspectJ 1.1.  If you have the older
+version of BCEL available earlier on your classpath than the version included in the 
+1.2 aspectjtools.jar then you will see errors like:
+
+<pre>
+C:\work\test\TestAspect.aj error Internal compiler error
+java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.bcel.generic.InstructionFactory.
+createNewArray(Lorg/apache/bcel/generic/Type;S)Lorg/apache/bcel/generic/Instruction;
+</pre>
+
+This typically happens because the old version of BCEL has been included as a standard
+extension in your JVM configuration.  Ensure you have removed it from jre/lib/ext
+under your JDK installation.
+
