[CppAD] release build for CppAD?

[Brad Bell]

As of version 05-12-15, the library CppADlib.a has been removed; i.e.,
CppAD is purely an include file library.

One no longer needs to worry about building both debug and optimized 
versions of CppADlib.a.
In addition, it is no longer necessary to specify -lCppAD when linking 
programs that use CppAD.
For more information see the heading 12-15 in
