3.3 The xxx_dev scripts, and include files

The xxx_dev scripts and include files have changed.

In the mk system, the xxx_dev scripts had to be used to make soft links to the (Fortran) include files necessary for working with a library. In the new system, all such include files are installed in a standard place, such as /star/include. All the Fortran compilers that we are aware of have a -I option to indicate where such include files are to be found.

Note that the names of the Fortran include files are now consistently upper-case.
