Comment (by barry.wardell):

 I agree something like this would be useful additions to the Einstein
 Toolkit, if only to serve as simple examples. There are also some
 alternatives which may be preferable to the McLachlan thorns:

 * There is a SimpleWave example included with Kranc which is almost
 identical to ML_WaveToy, but the Kranc script is a bit simpler.
 * There is a collection of Kranc generated scalar wave equation thorns at
 http://bitbucket.org/barrywardell/scalarwave. These are somewhat more
 advanced in that they solve the scalar wave equation on a curved
 background spacetime. This is achieved in two different ways. The first
 method uses a Metrics database to define the background and generates one
 thorn per spacetime. The second method simply reads the ADMBase variables
 and uses those as the background.
