--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose of the thorn:

Create initial for two puncture black holes using a single domain
spectral method.  This method is described in

Marcus Ansorg, Bernd Br�gmann, Wolfgang Tichy,
"A single-domain spectral method for black hole puncture data",
PRD 70, 064011 (2004),
arXiv:gr-qc/0404056.

NOTE: This thorn is currently being extended by Frank L�ffler to
include source terms to be able to handle matter, with the same
restrictions as the black holes before, plus zero momentum/angular
momentum (K_{ij} = 0).  This is still work in progess and might work
or might not.  It should _not_ influence the ability of the thorn
without matter.
