parse executive control deck into object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the new feature/capability that you'd like?
see summary

Why is it useful?
it tells you what solution you're running

List a sample API for the new functionality:
executiveDeck = mesh.getExecutiveDeck()

# assume solution 200 made up of sol 101 and sol 103
(200) = executiveDeck.getSolution()
(101,103) = executiveDeck.getSubcaseSolutions()

executiveDeck.setSolution(200)
executiveDeck.setSubcaseSolution(144,145)

executiveDeck.addLine('ALTER,1,2,3')

the executive control deck is excessively complicated and cannot be reasonably 
parsed without inventing a programming language.  So as most users would ONLY 
like to change a solution, they're given the option to do so.

{{{
mesh = BDF()
mesh.read(infilename)
mesh.updateSolution(101)

or
mesh.updateSolution(600,method) # this only applies for solution 600

mesh.write(outfilename)
}}}
this will update the 1 line with the solution on it and THAT is it!
