NAME
       simgrid_update_xml - updates simgrid XML files to lastest version

SYNOPSIS
       simgrid_update_xml xml_file

DESCRIPTION
       simgrid_update_xml updates the simgrid XML file passed as argument.  The file is modified in place, without any kind of backup. You may
       want to save a copy before running the script.

       In SimGrid XML files, the standard version is indicated in the version attribute of the platform tag. Current version is 3. Here is a list
       of major changes in each version.

       Version 0: Used before SimGrid 3.3
       Version 1: Introduced in SimGrid 3.3
	   o   The version attribute of platform were added to allow file versionning.

	   o   The link bandwidth changed from Mb/s to b/s; and the CPU power were changed from MFlop/s to Flop/s

       Version 2: Introduced in SimGrid 3.4
	   o   Several tags were renamed:

		 CPU -> HOST
		 NETWORK_LINK -> LINK
		 ROUTE_ELEMENT ->  LINK_CTN
		 PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION -> PLATFORM

       Version 3: Introduced in SimGrid 3.5 (this is the current version)
	   o   The AS tag were introduced. Every plaform should now contain an englobing AS tag.

	   o   Routes are now symmetric by default.

	   o   Several tags were renamed (for sake of XML sanity):

		 LINK:CTN -> LINK_CTN
		 TRACE:CONNECT -> TRACE_CONNECT
