		     How to add a new aRts module

(This will eventually go into the aRts documentation).

To add a new module "foo" to aRts:

1. Add a new interface to artsmodules.idl defining the
   module's input and output parameters.

2. Implement the new module in a new source file foo_impl.cc

3. Add foo_impl.cc to the list of libartsmodules_la_SOURCES in
   Makefile.am.

4. Create a new file mcopclass/foo.mcopclass

5. Add foo.mcopclass to the list of mcopclass_DATA in
   mcopclass/Makefile.am.

6. Do a clean build and install and debug and test your new module.
       (make clean && make && make install)
       killall artsd ; artsd &

7. Update the TODO file with the status of the new module.
