#35: Putting "shocks" before "endval" leads to wrong results

In a deterministic setup with both temporary and permanent shocks, the
order of the {{{shocks}}} and {{{endval}}} blocks matter. Actually,
putting {{{shocks}}} before {{{endval}}} leads to wrong results.
{{{shocks}}} uses {{{set_shocks.m}}}, which fills in {{{oo_.exo_simul}}};
the point is that, if {{{endval}}} has not been used, this structure is
empty, so {{{set_shocks}}} fills it, at date of shocks, for ''all'' the
exogenous, and using the ''initial'' steady state value.
When {{{simul}}} is finally called, it completes {{{oo_.exo_simul}}} with
the ''final'' exogenous steady state, but only for those periods which
have no temporary shocks. So at the dates with temporary shocks, the value
of exogenous which are permanently shocked is wrong.
A quick fix is to forbid the use of {{{shocks}}} before {{{endval}}}.
A cleaner fix is to modify {{{set_shocks.m}}} so that it only sets values
for the exogenous which are temporarily shocked, and leaves {{{NaN}}} for
other exogenous. It would be {{{simul}}}'s job to fill in the holes.

this option is very similar to initval_file but it requires two different
files for endogenous and exogenous variables.
The entry in the manual doesn't describe the required files.
It may be interesting to use it for loading only trajectories for the
exogenous variables.

The document from Stéphane is probably the one to use.
It should be added to the doc/ subdirectory, then to the build-system and
to the packaging.

info(1) == 43 (covariance matrix of shocks is not positive definite)
should be added to print_info.m
We need to check that all error numbers that can be present in info(1) are
taken care of. We need to check with grep info *.m

#85: Estimation is not deterministic: a seed should be explictly given to random
number generator
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: sebastien | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Currently MOD files doing estimation are not deterministic: different runs
of the same MOD files don't give the same results, since the seed for
random number generator is not the same accross runs.
The easy way to fix that is to set the seed in dynare.m. There would be a
default value for the seed, or it could be changed through an
option/command.
A more subtle way would be to have a seed reset at the top of every major
function (estimation, stoch_simul).
We need to decide which way is the best.
