New issue 71 by Bourdin.KIS: Using mixed precision and non-F95 type
declarations
http://code.google.com/p/pencil-code/issues/detail?id=71

In some files, there are non-F95 compliant type declarations, like:

src/lsode_for_chemistry.f90: CHARACTER*80 :: MSG
src/shell.f90: real*8, allocatable, dimension(:) :: [...]

These break compilation in the default configuration with, e.g., gfortran.
Anyway, everything should only be "real" and if hihger precision is needed,
the precision should be switched in the compiler configuration/Makefile.src.

Especially, for strings like "MSG" above, we have fixed string lengths
available for different purposes (filenames, labels, etc.) that can then be
resized later, if we find that one of them becomes too short and using
these, we would maintain the consistent string lengths.
