Creating a new model

For an example, see models/simple.h and models/simple.cpp

Other modifications include:

1. Register the new model with nest, in modelsmodule.cpp

#include "simple.h"

// ...

register_model<simple>(net_,             "simple");

2. Add parameter names

nest_names.h

    extern const Name spikes;

    extern const Name thresh;

nest_names.cpp

    const Name spikes("spikes");

    const Name thresh("thresh");

3. Add entries in the makefiles

Makefile.am

    simple.h simple.cpp

Makefile.in
