According to the discussion around [1], using the system CppUnit library
is rarely useful but likely to cause problems (due to possible
incompatibilities between versions); that is, unless people doing so
really know what they are doing. For this reason, this commit changes
the CMake config logic as follows: the system CppUnit library is now
only used when explicitly asked for with -DSYSTEM_CPPUNIT=ON on the
CMake command line.

- Fixed the scripts end time computation
- Fixed nested tests in switches
- Simplifications to the computation of the aerodynamics angles alpha & beta
- Account for the contact transition in the gear compression speed
- Fixed docs in FGTank
- simgear::strutils::readNonNegativeInt<unsigned int>() is better than
std::stoul() at detecting and reporting erroneous input (for one, it
checks that the given string *represents* an integer that fits in the
specified type, as opposed to just "starts with digits").
- The format version is now an unsigned int (just because it's largely
enough and simgear::strutils::readNonNegativeInt<unsigned long, 10>()
isn't instantiated for now).
- The format version is now printed to the log (it was already for
apt.dat files, but not for nav.dat files).
Instead of doing an illegal memory access (to fields[0]), properly
report the problem when the line that is supposed to contain the format
version of a nav.dat file is empty.
- PTT will now use whatever channel is selected; non zero simply means PTT active.
- The volume as set in the comm[]/radio will now be used as a factor on the FGComm volume
PTT now uses an int channel number (0 means not pressed, 1 = comm radio 1 (index [0]),etc...)
/comm-radio-selected is the default comm channel to use. This should usually be the same as will be set by PTT into /controls/radios/comm-ptt
However PTT will switch the FG comm inbound and outbound frequency to whichever radio was PTT'd.
New properties also set in multi-player to indicate the transmission frequency and normalised power (currently just set to 1.0)
13001(int) : sim/multiplay/comm-transmit-frequency-hz
13002(short-norm) : sim/multiplay/comm-transmit-power-norm
- New system component linear_actuator from Adriano Bassignana.
- Bug fix of Euler angles computations in FGMatrix33 (a pure westward heading of 270 deg was erroneously converted to a pure eastward heading of 90 deg). This could make the aircraft trimming fail when spawning with a heading of 270 deg.
Problem seen with Nasal setChildren/setValues where names were not
being passed down the stack. Identified as over-zealous IF_DEF
to remove unused variable compiler which meant snprintf was not being called
for non debug builds (see c177aeb623)
Fix is to change assert() calls to an naRuntime error, which ensures
that the len variable is always used and is
more appropriate as buffer overrun could occur in any release build if
someone tried to set a name of >1024 characters.
