There's a simple way to manage your environment variables mess , and it's called module:

http://modules.sourceforge.net/

this simple command will look after the set , and reme you environment variables on the fly
for example you'll be able to load a bouch of variable using a simple :

modules load moduleFile

end to remove them ?

modules unload moduleFile

let see how to compile and make it work.

From now on the vecmat module will be hosted on google code.
the code will be reviewed , tested and an optimized .
