cm_analog_alloc()

This function is called from code model C functions to allocate
state storage for a particular instance.  It computes the number
of doubles that need to be allocated in SPICE's state storage
vectors from the number of bytes specified in it's argument and
then allocates space for the states.  An index into the SPICE
state-vectors is stored in the instance's data structure along
with a ``tag'' variable supplied by the caller so that the location
of the state storage area can be found by cm_analog_get_ptr().

parameters (e.g. maximum step size) may be needed to get reasonable
results of a simulation. In detail, this may be necessary when
spice interacts with an external sensor-simulator and the results
of that external simulator do not have a direct impact on the spice
circuit. Then, modifying the maximum step size on the fly may help
to improve the simulation results. Modifying such parameters has to
be done carefully. The patch enhances the xspice interface with
access to the (fundamental) ckt pointer.
