after AGEINT written, write BASEPOP wrapper #41

PAS BASEPOP.XLS is a full service function, best to keep pieces separate: uses info on fertility and survival in previous years to split (abridge) young ages, with arriaga method used thereafter. Once array interpolation done (linear per the BASEPOP methods), this should imply just a couple steps.

real objective here is to write a split04() method that is based on demographic process information, i.e. fertility and mortality. This can then be compared with statistical methods. interp() now written, which was a prelim for BASEPOP
