convert new(-ish) Vensim models to xmile

[bpowers]

the list seems to be:

• ./tests/delays
• ./tests/initial_function
• ./tests/input_functions
• ./tests/smooth
• ./tests/special_characters
• ./tests/trig
• ./tests/abs
• ./tests/exp
• ./tests/ln
• ./tests/rounding
• ./tests/sqrt

Found by:

[bpowers@vyse test-models]$ find . -name '*.mdl' | while read m; do if [ "0" -eq "$(find $(dirname $m) -name '*.xmile' | wc -l)" ]; then echo $(dirname $m); fi; done

(I'm planning on doing this, just playing with tracking TODOs as issues)

There are plenty more new models to convert. We may be able to use @bobeberlein's translation tool for this, and make that a reference implementation.

cool - that would be great -- I got as far as writing down some documentation for the mdl format, but not much past that.

Do you have a link to his tool handy?
