Subject: - Update the TODO list, setting some requirements for version 1.0 -
 Check that initial values specified using parms.ini are actually needed for
 the model, stop otherwise - List all formation fractions in the same place in
 the summary, also if they were fitted in the model - Include an FOMC model
 coupled to two metabolites in the unit tests - Some updates needed because of
 the above - Update of static documentation including the vignettes - Update
 of the mkin vignettes in the vignettes directory
