-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Currently, sim get-output-dir returns:

 {{{
 Simulation name: <simname>
 Output directory: <basedir>/<simname>/output-NNNN/<parbasename>
 }}}

 I think most uses of this command would be in shell scripts, where it
 would be easier to use if it only output the actual output directory.  The
 first line is redundant, as the user has already specified the simulation
 name.  Also, simfactory is appending the <parbasename>, and assuming that
 such a directory exists and contains some useful data.  Without parsing
 the parameter file and duplicating cactus logic, it cannot know where the
 actual data is.  I think simfactory should just give the output-0000
 directory, and leave it up to the user to figure out where to find the
 data in there.  The attached patch implements this change.  OK to apply?
