DR1 tries to invoke AIM if options_.useAIM == 1 is set.
for start, options_.useAIM = 0 is set by default in global_initialization.m so that system uses mjdgges by default.
If AIM is to be used, options_.useAIM = 1 needs to be set either in the model <>.mod file, before invoking, estimate and/or stoch_simul, or by issuing appropriate command for estimate and/or stoch_simul.
However, if other exceptions occur and aimcode is higher than 5, the system resets options_.useAIM = 0 tries to use mjdgges instead.

* updates to the manual: added an empty entry for every new command, removed old commands
* fixed a typo in bvar_a_la_sims.tex
* added a warning in the Makefile about package docbook-xsl

* removed mention of Scilab and Gauss in the introduction, replaced it by GNU Octave
* updated developping team names
* completely rewritten "software requirements" and "installation" section

* fixed bug in oo_ table of estimation command, where the 4 last columns where hidden (only 2 were displayed instead of 6)
* replaced ′ with a single quote (dblatex doesn't handle ′)
* implemented a workaround for dblatex bug, by replacing <xref> with <link> when the indexed element contains an underscore
* upgraded header to DocBook 4.5

* moved windows packaging files to the windows/ subdirectory
* added a README.txt

* added a function matlab_ver_less_than() for testing Matlab version
* updated dynare_config.m and build_matlab.m accordingly
* removed tests to check whether we are older than Matlab 6.5 (R13), since we don't support those old versions anymore
* removed a few unnecessary uses of eval()

* Added function numgrad3.m. This new function uses a three point formula to compute the gradient. By default Dynare uses the two point formula. By setting options_.gradient_method=3 Dynare switches to the three point formula. Note that an input argument has been added to csminwel.
* Added automatic detection of needed constant in dsge-var model (may be problematic is some cases)
