Any word on getting this to work on NVIDIA cards? From what I understand it's because the nvidia cards don't support opencl 1.2 (yet?). Any potential workarounds on windows or linux?

I doubt it's a priority.  With NVIDIA's poor integer performance it seems like it's not even worth it.  Maybe it would be if the GPU miner could hit ~20x performance over typical CPUs, but as it stands it's not really there yet.

But yeah there's definitely a way to eliminate the dependency on OCL 1.2.  You just need to find someone motivated enough to do it.
