Hello!

To be able to read a function from file in PyDOLFIN we have changed the 
signature of generated code for a finite_element. It now equals:

  'FiniteElement("Lagrange","Triangle",1)' aso

It is maybe not as readable as the other but now one can use that string to 
create a ffc(ufl).FiniteElement in python given a compiled finite_element, 
with just:

  repr(fe.signature())

You will need the newest version of ffc to be able to utelise DOLFIN 
functionality that uses this signature(), e.g. read/write Functions from/to a 
file.

Also if you previously have stored a function to file, in an xml format, you 
need to either save it again to be able to read it in (sic.) or change the 
lines defining the signatures (finite_element and dof_map) in the end of the 
file.
