Add README
The format of the README is slightly different to the other READMEs in the Einstein Toolkit. It is in reStructuredText format, a markdown format which can be easily converted to HTML. This was a test to see how well this would work. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinAnalysis/Multipole/trunk@88 4f5cb9a8-4dd8-4c2d-9bbd-173fa4467843

+Purpose of This Thorn
+---------------------
+
+The Multipole thorn performs spherical harmonic mode decomposition of
+Cactus grid functions on coordinate spheres. It can decompose
+multiple grid functions with any spin-weight on multiple spheres.
+This thorn uses the interpolator interface to access grid functions,
+so works with mesh-refinement and multi-patch.
+
+---------------
+Required thorns
+---------------
+
+* An interpolator, e.g. AEILocalInterp
+
+--------------
+Related thorns
+--------------
+
+* WeylScal4 can be used to compute the Weyl scalars, which can then be
+ decomposed into modes on coordinate spheres by Multipole.
