Command line interface for retrieval of phase-correction coefficients

I've made a little command-line program that calls the routines for
retrieval of water vapour and phase correction coefficients that I
described in memos 587 and 588.

So far it only uses the very simplest model and the only input are the
four channel temperatures, but it may be useful for quick checks of
observed data and also of course as an illustration of how the libraries
work. There is more information at:

http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~bn204/alma/libaircmdline.html

and how to build & install at:

http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~bn204/alma/sweng/libairbuild.html

One possible use is using the "evidence" value to check for unphysical
readings from the WVRs.

Let me know if you find any problems or unexpected results.

Best,
Bojan
