New code for Uncertainty calculations (courtesy of Graeme Watt) -
***************************************************************
      31/05/2012 by Graeme Watt <Graeme.Watt(at)cern.ch>.
!--   Calculation of PDF uncertainties and PDF correlations.
!--
!--   Use formulae for PDF uncertainties and correlations in:
!--    G. Watt, JHEP 1109 (2011) 069 [arXiv:1106.5788 [hep-ph]].
!--   Code should distinguish between NNPDF (Monte Carlo approach),
!--   Alekhin02/ABKM09/ABM11 (symmetric Hessian approach).  Other
!--   PDF sets are assumed to use the asymmetric Hessian approach.
!--   List of subroutines in this file:
!--    GetPDFUncType(lMonteCarlo,lSymmetric)
!--    GetPDFUncTypeM(nset,lMonteCarlo,lSymmetric)
!--    GetPDFuncertainty(values,central,errplus,errminus,errsym)
!--    GetPDFuncertaintyM(nset,values,central,errplus,errminus,errsym)
!--    GetPDFcorrelation(valuesA,valuesB,correlation)
!--    GetPDFcorrelationM(nset,valuesA,valuesB,correlation)
!--   Input variables above are nset, values, valuesA, valuesB.
!--   Other arguments above are all ouput variables.

  see src/uncertainty.f  and examples/Example10.f for more details

Addition of new routine to output in-line then maximum number of sets
which can be initialised in the multset use.

     call getMaxNumSets(nmax)

More details of other previous fixes are given in the ChangeLog
