Initial import into GITHUB  02/24/14

This is the initial import of the distance-omnibus code base into the GITHUB
architecture.  Earlier development was tracked elsewhere.  The files being
imported to GITHUB will form the RELEASE tags for the community.
Add new utility inverf.pro

Add the inverse error function utility, downloaded from somewhere.  Possibly
useful for speeding up error-bar computation via bootstrap formalisms.
Speed up error-bar computation

Modify the brute-force error bar computation method in
subroutines/omni_compute_ebars.pro to (1) utilize the values of the PDF
itself as the levels for determining area enclosed, and (2) change the FOR
loop over the levels (min -> max) to a WHILE loop (max -> level) to stop
computation when the proper area has been computed.

This removes the NLVS optional input, which requires commensurate changes in
distance_omnibus.pro
Modified README to spectify IDL 8.x
Documentation update to omni_sample_dpdf

Update documentation in subroutines/omni_sample_dpdf.pro to explain that
this routine is not limited to use with DPDFs, but may be applied to any
pdf for which random samplings are desired.  Otherwise, some minor code
cleanup and potential bug fixes.
Update documentation for dpdf/

Documentation update for ther dpdf/ directory.  The README has been updated
with references and to reflect the currently-implemented DPDF methods.
Culling obsolete prob_*.pro routines from the release channel.
Documentation update in conffiles/

Update the README in conffiles/ and clear out obsolete *.template files from
same.  Add conffiles/survey_info.blank as a clean slate for other surveys to
fill in appropriate survey-specific information.
Doc update re: starsub

Add lanuage in README about the necessity of running
create_local_files/omni_glimpse_starsub.pro before anything else to get the
required star-subtracted GLIMPSE images for the EMAF method.  Also add
warning language in the starsub routine about the CPU-intensive nature of this
routine, but also its one-off runtime.
Documentation update to omni_sample_dpdf

Update documentation in subroutines/omni_sample_dpdf.pro to explain that
this routine is not limited to use with DPDFs, but may be applied to any
pdf for which random samplings are desired.  Otherwise, some minor code
cleanup and potential bug fixes.
Clean out utils/ directory

Clean out utility routines not needed by the to-be-released distance-omnibus
code.
Upgrade to GPL V3

Upgraded the license to GPL V3 from V2.
Merge branch 'master' of github.com:BGPS/distance-omnibus
Add Reid et al. (2014) parallax table

Add MRT from Reid et al. (2014, ApJ, 783, 130) containing trigonometric
parallaxes to masers in HMSFRs.  This replaces the MRT created from the arXiv
preprint LaTeXZ submission file.

Merge branch 'document'

Bring this branch back to the master -- only wanted the branch to test how
git handles such things.
Merge branch 'master' into release

Keep the 'release' branch up to date with the master.  The 'release' branch
will eventually diverge when components of tracked files are removed as
unnecessary for release, such as the mass-deriv configuration calls in
omni_read_conffile.pro.
Update to subroutines/omni_compute_ebars.pro

Update error-bar computation routine to gracefully handle bimodal PDFs computed
from Monte Carlo calculations of derived quantities.  Sometimes the secondary
peak (with ~15-20% of the probability) can have a taller peak in the PDF because
of binning considerations, but this peak is not the one we want to select as
the "Maximum-Likelihood" peak because the peak itself does not contain a
majority of the probability.  Updates to the routine check for bimodality, and
properly mask the PDF, if desired.
Make LINFIT_PLOT robust

Add option in utils/linfit_plot.pro to use an outlier-robust fit in the form
of the IDL-included LADFIT.  Also cleaned up the documentation, and added an
optional output of the fit values for use however the programmer sees fit.
Merge branch 'release'

Make sure everything on the 'release' branch is on MASTER (which it is, but I
wanted git to tell me) before making release-only changes to RELEASE.
Add flag for infinite linewidth in import

Modify create_local_files/omni_import_velocity.pro to kick a flag when fixing
the linewidth of a dense gas catalog entry (entry was infinite).  No substantive
change to routine except this and documentation, but the flag may be used
elsewhere when doing physics (i.e. linewidth relationships).
