#209: check use of set_default_option()

set_default_option takes an action only if the field name doesn't exist in
options_. But, now, most options have a default value set in
global_initialization.m, so most of the calls to set_default_option are
useless and may, sometimes, not produce the desired results.

#160: Add derivatives of static model w.r.t. parameters
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------

Currently, the derivatives of the static model w.r.t. parameters are
computed using the derivatives of the dynamic model w.r.t. parameters.
It would be more convenient to provide directly these derivatives.

#240: rewrite getPowerDeriv assignments in temporary terms

From Stephane:
In models with power functions of the form x**a (utility functions,
production functions, agregation functions, quadratic costs, ...) the
evaluation of the jacobian matrix (or higher order derivates)
necessitate potentially a huge number of calls to the routine
getPowerDeriv (the name of the routine is explicit enough). In my
example (a real business cycle model with perfect foresight) most of the
time is spent in this routine, while, if my understanding is correct,
this is not necessary because x>0.
I wrote a mex file (see the new branch called mex-!GetPowerDeriv) as a
replacement for the matlab routine, unfortunatly the overhead cost is so
high that the use of the mex file increases the total time of execution!
In my case I resolved the issue by using option use_dll, but this is not a
solution for the majority of our users (they would have to install
cygwin/gcc and configure matlab/mex). So my question is: Do we really
need to call this routine in all situations ? Would it not be possible
to replace calls to this routine by something like:
if (abs(x)>1e-12)
tmp = ANALYTICAL_EXPRESSION_OF_THE_DERIVATIVE{x,params};
else
tmp = 0;
end

#239: Add the possibility of having intermediate files elsewhere than in current
directory

Currently Dynare creates all its intermediate files (dynamic, static, ...)
in the current directory.
It would be useful to have the possibility of choosing the directory where
intermediate files are created.

#230: Parallelize the testsuite
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------

Currently the testsuite only uses one processor.
We should paralellize it, probably using the -j option of make.
Some tests have to be run in sequential order (the 2nd test depends on the
result of the 1st): those should probably lie in a separate list of tests
which will not be (fully) parallelized.
Need to think about a way to aggregate the tests results into one report.
