McStas 1.5: if you encouter compilation problems

[Emmanuel Farhi]

Hello McStas users,

I realised that there was an undocumented modification in the Mcstas
version 1.5, that makes it a few percent uncompatible with some previous
components (and perhaps the components that you wrote...)
Per-Olof Astrand changed the nature of one of the symbols in the kernel
('mccompcurname' is not a char string anymore).
Thus if you encounter any compilation problem with McStas 1.5, just look
for the 'mccompcurname' symbol and change it to 'NAME_CURRENT_COMP'.

Invitation:
Use version 1.6-ill <http://www.ill.fr/tas/mcstas/> that one from which
Per-Olof says "The parallel development of McStas at ILL is very
unfortunate". Wow ! you're not very kind Per-Olof, why ?

Cheers. EF.
