allow 'short' syntax in input files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to know your opinion on the changes proposed below. They are
intended to allow (optionally) reducing the verbosity of the input file
syntax. Of course, the 'long' syntax would still be there.

1. allow also 'short' syntax for variables, ebc, epbc

variables = {
    'uc'   : ('unknown field',   '2_displacement', 0),
    'vc'   : ('test field',      '2_displacement', 'uc'),
    'Pi'   : ('parameter field', '2_displacement', 'uc'),
    'Pi1'  : ('parameter field', '2_displacement', 'uc'),
    'Pi2'  : ('parameter field', '2_displacement', 'uc'),
    'pc'   : ('unknown field',   'pressure3', 1),
    'pc_0' : ('parameter field', 'pressure3', 'pc'),
    'pp1'  : ('parameter field', 'pressure3', 'pc'),
    'pp2'  : ('parameter field', 'pressure3', 'pc'),
    'qc'   : ('test field',      'pressure3', 'pc'),
}

ebcs = {
    'fixed_u' : ('Corners', {'uc.all' : 0.0}),
    'fixed_p_zero' : ('EBCGamma1', {'pc.0' : 0.0}),
    'fixed_p_one' : ('EBCGamma2', {'pc.0' : 0.0}),
}

2. regions:

together with:

region_0 = {
    'name' : 'Bottom',
    'select' : 'nodes in (y < -%.3f)' % yw,
}
region_1 = {
    'name' : 'Top',
    'select' : 'nodes in (y > %.3f)' % yw,
}

allow:

regions = {
    'Bottom' : ('nodes in (y < -%.3f)' % yw, {}),
    'Top'    : ('nodes in (y > %.3f)' % yw, {}),
}

the {} is for additional flags, like canCells, forbid, etc.

1. yes, but only when we add explanation to our docs. :)

2. is perfectly fine

• Changed title: allow 'short' syntax in input files

Sure :) Neither the long syntax is explained, though :)

In small input files in the distro I will let the long syntax anyway, this is 
useful
mainly for me doing complex homogenization stuff.

The final missing part (regions) is done. Both long and short version work.
