Merge branch 'master' into netgen-1.5

the parallel sorting routine.  This fixes occasional property
errors with series-connected devices such as resistors.  (2) Added
a method to associate properties with specific pins when pins are
permutable.  This allows netgen to properly check a value like
source/drain area when the definition of source and drain has
changed due to permutation of the device.  (3) Added a "property"
command extension "associate" to associate a property with a pin,
for use with the method described in (2).
