These scripts are used for various build functions

dep.py :

This finds the dependencies among a group of Fortran 90 files. It accepts preprocessor options and will first preprocess the files and then do the dependency checking. This is used to output the f90.depends file in the C++ build system.

find_files_vpath.py :

This script is used by the build system when we do

make file_locations

This will then output where in the make search path we find the source files, and will also report on any files that are not found.

findparams.py :

This is used by the F90 build system to locate parameter files (named _parameters) in the source tree that will then be parsed to define runtime parameters.

makebuildinfo.py :

This is used by the F90 build system (in the application code makefiles) to generate a build_info.f90 file that includes information about the build environment and git hashes, etc.

write_probin.py :

This is used by the F90 build system (in the application code makefiles) to generate the probin.F90 file that holds the runtime parameters. It works by reading all of the _parameter files to find runtime parameters and takes a template Fortran file and inserts the definitions and defaults into the template.
