* give the possibility of calibrating measurement errors in the "shocks" blocks (only for observed endogenous variables)
* M_.H is now initialized in the preprocessor
* only one "varobs" statement is now accepted in a MOD file
When the aggregate variance differs from the shock of the sum of the effects of individual shocks by more than 0.01% a warning is displayed.
This behaviour is documented in the reference manual.
* fix options stack_solve_algo={2,3,4} (closes#68)
* fix crashes for singular normalizations (closes#44) and implement decreasing cutoff
* fail for stack_solve_algo=2 under Octave (because there is no gmres function in Octave)
