1. Purpose

This thorn does basic analysis of the metric and extrinsic curvature 
tensors.

It calculates

  the trace of the extrinsic curvature ({\bf trK})

  the determinant of the metric ({\bf detg})

  the components of the metric in spherical coordinates 
  (grr,grq,grp,gqq,gqp,gpp)

  the components of the extrinsic curvature in spherical coordinates 
  (Krr,Krq,Krp,Kqq,Kqp,Kpp)

  components of the Ricci tensor
  
  the Ricci scalar

if output is requested for them.

(q refers to the theta coordinate and p to the phi coordinate.)

If the parameter 'normalize_dtheta_dphi' is true, the thorn 
projects the spherical components onto (r*dtheta, r*sin(theta)*dphi)
instead of the default vector (dtheta,dphi).

This thorn knows how to handle 'physical' and 'static conformal'
metric types.
