generates <fname>_steadystate2.m returning parameters as well in case
they have been modified by the user. Added several test cases.

This reverts commit 8dc6b78d.

MS-SBVAR: added automatic saving of graphs in <mod_name>/Output; added possibility to select endogenous variables for IRF plots; updated plot functions.

Adding Mex Functionality to work with new MS-SBVAR Code, includes Forecasting,IRF,Variance Decomposition, Plotting and new global settings

Added the possibility to initialize the estimated parameters to the prior mode instead of the (default) prior mean.

removing useless 'd' output argument from the Kalman smoother functions. Removed global initialization of options_.diffuse_d. Fixed minor bugs in Kalman smoother functions.

Initialize estim_params_ in global_estimation.m. Necessary for smoothing models with no estimated parameters.

qz_criterium = 1+1e-6
- stoch_simul
- osr
- check
- dynare_estimation_1 with lik_init =2 or 3
qz_criterium = 1+1e-6 for dynare_estimation_1 with lik_init = 1

This correct a bug in estimation and computation of the posterior distribution of moments of endogenous variables when the priors permit roots too close to 1.

added choice of parameter set to shock_decomposition. This corrects a bug when shock_decomposition is requested after Metropolis iterations.

Added a routine for setting the random number generator and the seed, independantly of the version of matlab. Removed the calls to rand('state',x) in simult.m and added a test file. Still need to adapt the routines related to mcmc and swz.

Changed set_dynare_threads.m. The number of threads in parallelized mex files to be used if dynare is built with the openmp flag
(--with-openmp) is not passed by an environment variable anymore. The function set_dynare_threads changes the default value of the
number of threads (default is 1) in the options_.threads structure. Changed calls to sparse_hessian_times_B_kronecker_C and
A_times_B_kronecker_C dlls accordingly.

1) safe management of remote folder;
2) shh scp (and windows equivalent) commands are concentrated in the master;
3) management of remote crashes;
4) begin building option to interrupt remote processes;
5) better parallel waitbar: pops up only at STARTUP (can be minimized subsequently); adaptive dimension;

for the jumping distribution).

textbar (as in Octave). The user has to set options_.console_mode before the
estimation command. Cosmetic changes in gmhmaxlik (mode_compute=6).

(2) Speed improvement in second order simulations (replaced call to matlab's kron function by call to
A_times_B_kronecker_C).

(3) Removed useless globals.

(4) Cosmetic changes and corrections on headers.

* give the possibility of calibrating measurement errors in the "shocks" blocks (only for observed endogenous variables)
* M_.H is now initialized in the preprocessor
* only one "varobs" statement is now accepted in a MOD file

- reverting part of last change to handling of Qi and Ri in ComputingTasks.cc: r is the number of lags present in the restrictions
- fixing handling of Dirichlet option in mhm_input.dat. This fixes the strange Signal messages when running C executables.
- fix path in test_upper_cholesky.mod

- added tests
- fixed various bugs
- modified initial values
Still unfinished

Cosmetic changes: converted files to Unix end-of-line convention + fixed copyright notices and dates
