ReaxFF library

--------------
This library is an implementation of the ReaxFF potential,
specifically designed to work with LAMMPS. It is derived from Adri van
Duin's original serial code, with intervening incarnations in CMDF and
GRASP.
This library can be built with any decent Fortran compiler, before
LAMMPS is built, so LAMMPS can link against it. The compiler must
produce object files compatible with the LAMMPS C++ compiler. If not,
the LAMMPS build will fail during linking.
Build the library using one of the provided Makefiles or create your
own, specific to your compiler and system. For example:
make -f Makefile.g95
If the build is successful, you should end up with a libreax.a file.
Note that the include file reax_defs.h is used by both the ReaxFF
library source files and the LAMMPS pair_reax.cpp source file (from
module REAX). It contains dimensions of statically-allocated arrays
created by the ReaxFF library. The size of these arrays must be set
small enough to avoid exceeding the available machine memory, and
large enough to fit the actual data generated by ReaxFF. If you change
the values in reax_defs.h, you must first rebuild the library and then
rebuild LAMMPS.
