Hopefully this won't affect too many people but for those of you doing
communication between multiple copies of flightgear, or with an
external flight model process, please take note.

The "External" flight model is a bit misleading in it's name.  I'm
planning to create a "Null" flight model as a replacement.  I'll
probably leave the "external" flight model in the code for a while for
backwards compatibility, but once my changes are in place, I encourage
you to use the "null" fdm instead.  The "null" fdm does absolutely
nothing.  It is simply a placeholder to make everything happy.  The
expectation is that all the flight model variables will be set some
other place ... most likely from an external source (file replay,
separate proprietary fdm process, etc.)

Hopefully this is just a very minor change for those that are affected
and this naming scheme will make more sense to people.

Regards,

Curt.
