 *  Revision 1.2  2009/08/21 09:49:07  robot12
 *  (guettler) support for tasked simulations.
 *  - use the simulation template_taskedSimulations.
 *  - merged (not completely) from lpzrobots_tasked.
 *  - graphics is supported, but only for one simulation of a pool
 *
 *  Revision 1.1.2.1  2009/08/11 15:59:20  guettler
 *  - support for tasked simulations, does not yet work with graphics
 *  - in development state
 *                                         *
 *                                                                         *
