Changeset 2035

Message:

• deprecate YAT_TEST_VERBOSE and use VERBOSE instead (fixes #557).
• tie cerr with cout, so cout is flushed before anything is written to cerr. (We should be more careful in selecting writing to cout or cerr).
• updated README appropriately. modified make examples to less gnu make specific syntax.
