add support for outputting te change in the horizon position from

one Newton iteration to the next, Delta_h, at each Newton iteration
(for help debugging convergence problems)

also move parameters for "should we output {h,H,Delta_h} from
struct IO_info to struct solver_info

also make the instructions on setting environment variables in
make.configuration.defn even more verbose...
