- since 1612, FOAM_INST_DIR and foamInstDir longer have any special meanings when sourcing the bashrc or cshrc files. Thus no need for special treatment in any of the dispatch wrappers. Retained FOAM_INST_DIR as (unexported) variable in etc/bashrc, just in case people are using patched versions of etc/bashrc as part of their installation. ENH: relax prefix restrictions on foamCreateVideo (issue #904) - shift the implicit '.' to be part of the default prefix. This allows things like "-image myimages_00" to work as might be expected.
