*GSASIIpath: locations & updates*
---------------------------------

Routines for dealing with file locations, etc.

Determines the location of the compiled (.pyd or .so) libraries.

Interfaces with subversion (svn): 
Determine the subversion release number by determining the highest version number
where :func:`SetVersionNumber` is called (best done in every GSASII file).
Other routines will update GSASII from the subversion server if svn can be
found.

Accesses configuration options, as defined in config.py
