* This thorn requires the Einstein thorn. (More accurately, it requires
various grid functions which are computed by the Einstein thorn.)

+ this thorn. (See the thorn guide for details.) It calls the LAPACK
+ library (which in turn calls the BLAS library) for solving linear equations.
+ Before compilation you have to set the environment variable LAPACK_DIR
+ to give the directory in which to find the LAPACK and BLAS libraries.
+ On the AEI xeons this is
+ export LAPACK_DIR=/usr/bin # bash
+ setenv LAPACK_DIR /usr/bin # csh,tcsh
* Most of this thorn's relativity code is machine-generated using Maple
(version 7), but you don't need Maple unless you want to modify the
relativity code.
