 Let R be a finite ring (up to now: a finite field or Z,,4,,). A submodule
 of R^n^ is called a linear code of length n. Two linear codes C, C' over R
 of length n are equivalent, if there is

  * a permutation pi in S,,n,,
  * a multiplication vector phi in R*^n^ (R* the set of invertible
 elements)
  * an automorphism alpha of R

 with C' = (phi, pi, alpha) C and the action is defined via

 (phi, pi, alpha) (c,,0,,, ..., c,,n-1,,) = ( phi,,0,, alpha(
 c,,pi^-1^(0),,) , ... , phi,,n-1,, alpha( c,,pi^-1^(n-1),,) )

 This patch adds an algorithm for calculating a unique representative
 within the equivalence class of a given linear code (returning some unique
 generator matrix). The algorithm calculates the automorphism group of the
 code as a byproduct.
