modified plugin to keep time step and to be able to integrate over time (needed for onelab laser project)

is then available to the plugin) -- for Koen

- new GetEnv and GetString functions

- moved GUI to FlGui + added experimental QGui to test Qt

- fixed most MSVC and gcc compiler warnings

- converted some remaining tabs to whitespace (that's why the patch is
  so large; please try to remember to indent with 2 spaces and not
  tabs when you commit stuff to CVS)

- merged modified patch from Konstantinos Poulios to allow saving
  physical/partition as element tags in mesh formats that don't
  support them natively

- replaced old 2nd order views with new adaptive stuff (still missing
  some function spaces for quads/hexas)

- fix bb computation to avoid model jumping around when adding points in z=0 plane
- pass interpol matrices as ref

  did in high
* added mesh generation error log summary
* removed Parallel subdir (this is now handled by the message class)
* removed Box subdir and consolidated batch processing in a single
  routine
* made List_T into a class
* reduced dependencies in Pview*.h so we can eventually add the post-pro
  interface to the public API

- ported Gradient, Curl, Divergence, Integrate and Transform plugins
  to the new abstract post-pro API

- documented new post format

untabify

upgraded all plugins to work with the new post-pro.

This is done "cheaply" for now, by only using old-style list-based datasets.
Taking advantage of the abstraction (so that we can use the plugins on all
datasets) will require more work. The hooks for transparent data translation
are in place, but the actual translation has not been implemented yet.

new gui for plugins (much better IMHO!)

- new button under the graphic window to temporarily disable mouse
  selection (speeds-up redrawing of very large models + permits to
  rotate/zoom-in a model in selection mode even when the whole screen
  is full of selectable entities--e.g. a surface mesh)

- new "lasso" selection mode (to select entities using the same kind
  of lasso as the lasso zoom: just Ctrl+click, then drag the mouse in
  selection mode; the shortcuts are the same as for the lasso zoom)

- it is now possible to unselect entities using the middle mouse button
  (only for the creation of physicals at the moment; not sure if it's
  useful in the other cases)

- new button in visibility browser to invert the current selection
  (very useful e.g. when multiple physical entities are associated
  with a given elementary entity, in order to "peel" away the model
  when adding new physicals; cf. philou)

- changed meaning of Escape shortcut (cancel lasso or toggle mouse
  selection) + restore standard fltk Escape handling for all dialog
  windows

- updated copyright string

- new mesh label mode (coordinates); all label types are now also
  available for mesh vertices

- added option in 'Print Option' dialog to disable printing of help
  strings

- added a comment string with the date when creating a new file

- new snapping grid for adding points in the GUI

new plugins: Gradient, Curl and Divergence

- removed all the crappy STL code and rewrote it using JF's POLY_rep
  class

- generalized POLY_rep so that we can use the polygonal discretization
  as a surface mesh, and mesh in 3D afterwards. I.e., we can now take
  an input triangulation (a single surface in STL format, multiple
  surfaces in STL format, one or more surfaces defined using the new
  "Discrete Surface" commands), and generate a 3D mesh that uses it. We
  could in theory even mix triangulated and "normal" surfaces in the
  same geometry, but nothing is done at the moment to ensure that the
  mesh at the interfaces would match (if it does, it actually works
  very nicely)

- new STL mesh output format to export a surface mesh as a STL file

- added an option to the GEO output routine to save the surface mesh
  as discrete surfaces associated with the geometrical surfaces

- added STL and Text output formats for post-processing views (the
  text output allows for example to exploit plugin-generated data in
  gnuplot)

- generalized Plugin(Evaluate):

  * can loop automatically over all the timestep and/or components

  * can do operations using data from an external view

     - if the 2 views are based on the same grid, the plugin does the
       evaluation very efficiently

     - if the 2 views are based on differenet grids, the plugin
       automatically interpolates the external view data onto the
       grid of the current view

- added new Rand() function in MathEval

- default colormap is now # 2 (the Matlab "Jet" colormap)
