Yes, they are needed for the tests. Otherwise the library is
headers-only. I raised this issue on Debian-legal
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2011/04/msg00002.html), and the
conclusion seems to be that as long as there is no usable free
implementation of OpenCL, ViennaCL would need to be in contrib.

Will fix ASAP.
