Initial import of new Einstein stuff. This has the new thorns, but not all
are fully functional yet. When I have completed this stage I'll send an updated spec out with some questions which have arisen during this process. Please don't import anything new without checking with me first, as I want to play games on the server copying cvs files around to preserve histories on files which are only minimally touched.

+Cactus Code Thorn ADMAnalysis
+Authors : Tom Goodale
+CVS info : $Header$
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Purpose of the thorn:
+
+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)
+
+if output is requested for them.
+
+(q refers to the theta coordinate and p to the phi coordinate.)
+
+If the parameter 'rsquared_in_sphm' is true, the thorn squares the
+radial coordinate when it uses it for the transformation.
+
+This thorn knows how to handle 'physical' and 'static conformal'
+metric types.
