[ADMB Users] ADMB in standard package formats

[Johnoel Ancheta]

The build process has changed.  Check the link below.

http://www.admb-project.org/buildbot/documentation/QuickStartUnix.html

It should be simpler and easier for everyone, but may need some fine tuning.

Feedback from Barak Pearlmutter was used for the the changes.  Such as the
eliminating the need to set System Variables.  Although, it will still work
if they
are set.

If you would like to contribute man pages, please let me know.

Thanks,
Johnoel
