Anything if it makes Andreas happy :)

This is a bit cumbersome, as it involves yet another abstract
intermediate type, but necessary due to language limitations.

We decided not to provide this information via the key/value store, but
rather to use the ftimings module for that.

@loh will take care to implement ftimings in the new API
@amarek wants to port the legacy API so that the old global module
  variables still contain valid values

Still missing is the compatibility layer, currently it only compiles
when configure is called with

  --disable-legacy

Also, a more general solution to parameter passing via environment
variables would be nice.

Supports multiple indexes now, to be used for non-tunable 'parameters'

- the functions now contain the appropiate real/complex in their
  name
- unused functions have been removed as cleanup
