I'm not convinced that symbolic links are really simpler (because I have
trouble remembering the syntax), so I prefer the environment variable in
most cases. Anyhow it is nice to have the option to do it either way.
Thanks, Aaron, for preparing the man page. I'm not sure it is consistent
with `admb --help` though. A couple of options seem to be missing.
