config files

The master configuration file because it contains the location of all other config files. This file acts as a guide for create_newcase and create_test. Both programs will look in config_files first to find the list files that have lists of possible compsets.

Each entry has the following subelements. <file> means the variable will be included in the case env file listed. <group> will indicate where within the file the variable will be grouped (with similar variables)

CASEFILE_HEADERS the location of config_headers.xml

GRIDS_SPEC_FILE: location of config_grids.xml

COMPILERS_SPEC_FILE: location of config_compilers.xml

MACHINES_SPEC_FILE: location of config_machines.xml

PIO_SPEC_FILE: location of config_pio.xml

CONFIG_TESTS_FILE: location of config_tests.xml

COMPSETS_SPEC_FILE: the location of config_compsets.xml files. Possibly one for each component.

PES_SPEC_FILE: the location of config_pes.xml files. Possibly one for each component.

TEST_SPEC_FILE: the location of the xml-defined tests. Possibly one for each component.
