SVAR documentation

Gretl users on MS Windows (Vista or higher) may have found that the 
Help button in the dialog box for Jack Lucchetti's "SVAR" addon 
(structural VARs) failed to open the PDF documentation.

The reason for that is a long story, but the short version is that 
we didn't reckon with the "virtualization hack" introduced with the 
new MS security model in Vista. Due to this, some files could end up 
installed in strange places, where gretl lost track of them. Anyway, 
this is now fixed in the current gretl snapshot.

If you're having that problem, we recommend updating to the 
snapshot. You may also have to uninstall and reinstall the SVAR 
package. You can uninstall under /File/function files/On local
machine; you can reinstall under /Help/Check for addons.
