Environment modules instead/in addtion to of setup_runtime.*

[stefraynaud]

Environment modules are more and more used to set or alter environment variables in different shells: http://modules.sourceforge.net/
It should be quite easy to convert setup_runtime scripts to such module file, and put it for instance in etc/modulefiles/uvcdat or etc/modulefiles/uvcdat/1.5.1.

i like this! Always wondered about it when I was seeing on super-computer type system. @aashish24 let's look into this.

Here is a utility to convert shell/modulefiles scripts to shell/modulefiles scripts: http://sourceforge.net/projects/env2/
So you can synchornize the sh, csh and modulecmd versions.

thanks @stefraynaud I will try to stick this into 2.1, I think that's the way to go.

really wish I could add this but let's face it not in 2.4, moving to 3.0
