The structure of the Longbow API has been simplified, the source files no longer reside in a subdirectory called "core" within the installation directory. This has made importing much simpler and imports shorter

Examples have been restructured and the how to run instructions updated. The actual run files remain the same, there are still incompatibilities with these and newer versions of MD codes but this will be addressed in the next version
