Subject: [PATCH] Some changes in names, before too many users have to modify
 their code :-) Changed es.h in src/es into make_es.h (was ambiguous with
 src/es.h) Changed the interface of make_genotype - now templatized by the EOT
 and not the fitness - this is mandatory for ES genoptypes as it allows to
 choose the type of gentype at run-time (from existing types, of course!)

Also moved make_help.cpp into utils dir (otherwise you'd had to maintain
a copy into each representation dir!).
