A new setAltitude() method has been added to Coords in order to be able to manually build stations from grided data and dem. A bug in Grid2DObject has been found that was reseting i,j,k to nodata when doing a gridify with i,j,k known. Better date parsing abilities have been implemented in IOUtils so that purely numerical dates as generated with the date format NUM can be parsed if *part* of a string in a meanigful way (useful for recovering dates from file names). 

A small Timer class has been added for easy code timing. This was in Alpine3D and had been imported from popc (with their agreement) and now quite heavily reworked.
