McStas ILL Web site trial

[Farhi]

Hy Kristian,

I've seen that you added the ILL web page. Great. I think it will stay here for a while
anyway (I'm in charge of this, huh ?)
About the problem of writting 'good' components, the best is to gather the components, and if
we see that one is not really clear, contact the author to improve this. I'm defining some
'good programmer's tips' in the ILL web page. Tell me if it suits you.
About sorting components in the directories you gave, it seems reasonable. McStas should also
continue to search in it's component root directory (for compatibility and unsorted
components).

In fact, I think that the 'limitation' that Thomas encountered is just that he began to think
it's too much. But his instrument can probably run with all informations passed through
command line. He also wanted to use a string instrument parameter, but this does not seem to
be handled by McStas. It could be useful when one single simulation would be used with
various configuration (for instance precise in parameters the type on monochromator one wants
to use, e.g. "Graphite" or "Si"). McStas could just look for symbols " or ' in command line.

Afetr heavy dicussions with me, Tref has been trying a Runge Kutta integration inside a
magnetic component, in order to describe the neutron spin swiming in B field. Seems to
work... (only alpha of course)

Cheers. EF.
