10% test SMT Examine GUI

10% test GUI is the tool to create the configuration files cfg.dat, translation.map and RCP files needed by SMT Examine. In the real experiment one global configuration will be used. On the 10% test stend one tests different configurations, therefore one need different configuration files.

10% test GUI examine.tcl written in TCL/TK.
