The default (if no option is given) is now that only for newly generated or empty files the respective header will be written.
If data is appended to an existing file, it is assumed that the header also is present already!
In this case only the new data blocks are appended directly after to existing ones.
[Most probably this behavior is broken if used in a native Windows environment, however, this is not the only problem there...]
The previous option "noheader" is preserved.
It suppresses the output of the header in any case.
If new data are appended to an existing output file this is done at the end of the file---just as before!
A new option "header" has been introduced.
If this is given, the output of the header is forced---no matter if a file (probably with header) existed before or not.
Also in this case all new data (and the header) are appended at the end of the output file if it existed already.
In case both options are given, the default behavior is activated.
Non-existing msr-files in the specified list of runs are now ignored as far as possible!
Still a warning for each non-existing file will be issued!
Before, encountering such a file led to the termination of the program.
Also the writing of the empty lines at the end of the data-output-file should be fixed now in this case.
It is needed to get a "correct db-file".
Before, when the program has been aborted before the last run was processed, these empty lines had not been appended to the file.
That these did not surface earlier can only be due to the musrgui/musredit interface which has additional safeguards.
Obviously no one uses this program from the command line (my guess).
run-specific parameters. This might help to get overall better starting parameters for a global fit.
For a few more details and an example, see the documentation.
Any testing is very welcome.
Until now the program terminated with a segmentation fault which was not very user friendly...
* Got rid of a strange construction in the TRIM.SP handler (vector<pair> -> map)

Added a "global" option to msr2data
First, I hope, this major "surgery" does not cause any regressions in the standard features.
If so, please revert to an older version and file a bug report.
This new option is not yet documented and should be considered as experimental.
Also the newly added code still needs some cleanup - many things have simply been written as a proof of concept.
This will be done during further testing and fine-tuning stages.
