Pull request to merge kim_pull_request into master

Created by: kliegeois

Here is the pull request following long delays.

Waves has been tested successfully on Gaston with a freshly rebuilt Trilinos.

All tests have passed:

ctest -j 6
...
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 76

Total Test time (real) = 240.93 sec

A memory leak remains somewhere in the beggining of the code resulting in some crash at the begining or a the destruction or when running several test in parallel.

Those leaks are however partially corrected since the last pull request and must be fully corrected in the future.
