[CIG-SEISMO] Is there a need for running generate_databases.f90 after using meshfem3D?

[Dimitri Komatitsch]

Dear Pieyre, dear all,

I think writing all the database files to the main directory
and then having to manually move them to the "DATABASES_MPI"
subdirectory is not a good idea; they should be written there automatically.

Therefore, could you please modify the SVN source code?
(adding "LOCAL_PATH" to the file name should work I guess).

Thank you,
Dimitri.
