I've removed here.sty from FFC, UFC and UFL. Garth has already removed
it for DOLFIN.

Feel free to "backport" these fixes to the current packages if you
like, or we could wait for the next release. It's about time we make a
release anyway.

I suggest we move these to 0.9.4:

  # Cleanup Function class logic, see [discussion] and [discussion]
  # Extracting vector field from tensor field, see [discussion]
  # Get all demos to run in parallel

To make a release, we then just need to fix the following:

  # Parsing of command-line arguments
  # Load parameters from file (might work, needs testing), perhaps search default directories for parameter file
  # Only set default argument values in header file of base class, not in subclasses, not in .cpp files

This are fairly easy to fix or are already working, just needing testing.
