Comment:
I added a new routine (set_dynare_seed.m) in commit db54c2d76ec8ac6a42c0cbf99bc394f7644f2a85 and a test (example) file in commit 032957b36f2e1129ce3809f02dc2bf9e5e2d65f6. This routine is called in global_initialization. I removed the seed commands in simult.m and the option dynare_seed, so that the simulated time series are invariant across different instances of dynare.
I still need to adapt the mcmc routines
Maybe we should also adapt the swz routines.
