[Users] Mixed binaries setup with TwoPunctures

[Roland Haas]

Hello Andrea,

setting up a mixed binary with TwoPunctures is only going to solve the
GR constraints but not solve for the fluid to be in hydrostatic
equilibrium. That means that a star will start to oscillate (strongly)
when let go.

The bhns_eval.par file in TwoPuncture's test directory is pretty much
all the documentation that exists, other than the short comments at the
end of param.ccl of TwoPunctures.

You may also look at the implementation in TOVSolver
einsteininitialdata/TOVSolver/src/external.inc which provides the
functions that TwoPunctures uses.

Yours,
Roland
