5938	Add information about linearized model output	Francesco Casella	Karim Adbdelhak	"When running the {{{linearize}}} API function (see attached test case), the linearized model is saved in a file. This is the output of the linearize function:
{{{
    resultFile = ""d:/Temp/OMEdit/foo_res.mat"",
    simulationOptions = ""startTime = 0.0, stopTime = 1.0, numberOfIntervals = 500, tolerance = 1e-006, method = 'dassl', fileNamePrefix = 'foo', options = '', outputFormat = 'mat', variableFilter = '.*', cflags = '', simflags = ''"",
    messages = ""stdout            | info    | Linearization will performed at point of time: 1.000000
LOG_SUCCESS       | info    | The initialization finished successfully without homotopy method.
LOG_SUCCESS       | info    | The simulation finished successfully.
stdout            | info    | Linear model is created!
}}}
The result log makes it very clear where the result of the simulation is, but it doesn't tell where the file with the linearized model is, only that it was created. This can be very frustrating in some cases, when the output directory is not directly under the user control (e.g. when running the linearize() command under the OMEdit CLI).

Please add the full path to the linearized model file to the log output, e.g. by writing ""Linear model created in file xxx/yyy"", instead of ""Linear model created!"".

I would also strongly suggest to add one extra line to indicate that it is possible to change the format of the output via a compiler flag, since this is not explained in the API manual, e.g.

{{{
The output format can be changed with the command line option --linearizationDumpLanguage, e.g. --linearizationDumpLanguage=matlab
