[Ifeffit] New horae library setup

[Matt Newville]

Hi Paul, 

Starting from the latest installer package (still only on the CARS
server), running horae_update worked for me....  Well, OK, I did
  ~> source /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/iff_init.csh
  ~> horae_update
  ~> cd horae-034
  ~> sudo make install

To build the latest installe, I built the PGPLOT/aquaterm carefully
and by hand, and installed the latest Perl/Tk804 from source.
Starting with that (which does assume Apple's perl 5.8.1), the
ifeffit source can be updated from the standard source kit with
   ~> ./configure --prefix=/Applications/Ifeffit
   ~> sudo make install

and horae with a variation of the above.  I'll gladly send more, but
the source kits should now 'just work' for Mac OS 10.3 (and Apple's
perl).  Even using a later perl, I think it should be pretty simple
to build from source, but maybe I'm missing something.  That is,
install the installer, compile the ifeffit kit, then make sure
perl/Tk worked with the newer perl, and try to run horae_update. It
might work.  The installer does write to /Library/Perl, but there
ought to be a 5.8.1 and 5.8.* directories that isolate binary stuff
between version changes.  Of course, you can also simply move copies
of this folder around.

I could try to put together instructions for how I built PGPLOT if 
you really want to start from scratch, but I don't think that's what 
is tripping you up.   

Let me know if that's not clear enough,
