I upgraded an older computer from 2.7.11 to 2.7.12 and checked the behaviour
of the vismach model for pumakins. It is not correct - trajectory lines that
should be straight are curved. 

The reason is that the vismach model that I wrote, pumagui, is based on
specific geometry and the same geometry should be set for the kins component
pumakins. The values are clearly given in the commentary of the pumagui
code.

In order to correct this mistake, the following statements should be set in
the hal file for the puma config : sim.axis.vismach.puma

setp pumakins.A2 400
setp pumakins.A3   50
setp pumakins.D3 100
setp pumakins.D4 400
setp pumakins.D6  95

The hal file is puma_sim_6.hal.

Alternatively the default values for these paramters must be changed, which
is set somewhere.

Perhaps someone can show us a way to make these parameters directly
accessible in the vismach code.

When these parameters are in place the pumagui, in world mode, will draw a
square box in the x-y-plane with straight lines, not curved lines.
