[[This is a redo of my "cvs import" of 2002/06/11, this time using proper

cvs operations (commit/delete/add)to preserve the full CVS history of this
thorn.]]

This is a major cleanup/revision of AEIThorns/Exact.

Major user-visible changes:
* major expansion of doc/documentation.tex
* major expansion of documentation in param.ccl file
* rename all parameters, systematize spacetime/coordinate/parameter names
  (there is a perl script in par/convert-pars.pl to convert old parameter
  files to the new names)
* [from Mitica Vulcanov] many additions and fixes to
  cosmological solutions and Schwarzschild-Lemaitre
* fix stress-energy tensor computations so they work -- before they were
  all disabled in CVS (INCLUDES lines were commented out in interface.ccl)
  due to requiring excessive friendship with evolution thorns
  and/or public parameters; new code copies parameters to restricted
  grid scalars, which Cactus automagically "pushes" to friends
* added some more tests to testsuite, though these don't yet work fully

Additional internal changes:
* rename many Fortran subroutines (and a few C ones too)
  so their names start with the thorn name
  to reduce the chances of name collisions with other thorns
* move all metrics to subdirectory so the main source directory isn't
  so cluttered
* move two files containing subroutines which were never called
  (they didn't belong in this thorn, but somehow got into cvs by accident)
  into new archive/ directory
* some (small) improvements in efficiency -- the exact_model parameter
  is now decoded from a keyword (string) to an integer once at INITIAL,
  and that integer tested by the stress-energy tensor code,
  rather than requiring a separate series of string tests at each grid
  point (!) like the old stress-energy tensor code did
