[RE-wrenches] SMA design tools

[Drake]

The original tool is flawed with bad data in places, but IMO, far 
better than the new Sunny Design tool, that attempts to do too 
much.  I'd like to see SMA go through all the data in the original 
String Sizing Tool and keep it available.

Even with the new tool, SMA recommends that we do our own math.
