Revision 49926c64aa2d4ea8cd64b4eaa626d22f43bfaeeb authored by Ron Burkey on 12 October 2018, 13:13:55 UTC, committed by Ron Burkey on 12 October 2018, 13:13:55 UTC 
Added a cli switch (--simulation) to yaYUL.  What this does is to react
 
to comments in *.agc files that include the strings -SIMULATION or
+SIMULATION.  The former are automatically commented out if --simulation
is used, while the latter are commented out is --simulation is *not*
used.  All of that was for the sole purpose of adding a -SIMULATION
specifier to a single line in Validation.agc that proves inconvenient
sometimes for simulations of the AGC electronics.  There's a new target
in the top-level Makefile (namely Validation-hardware-simulation) that
isn't one of the default ones, but which when used, builds a separate
rope (Validation/Validation-hardware-simulation.agc.bin) and html with
that one inconvenient line in Validation.agc commented out.  Overkill, I
know.
