[Users] Termination condition: max_runtime

Hi,

I have recently started to use the Cactus termination condition
'max_runtime' defined in Cactus/src/param.ccl.  However, from looking at
Cactus/src/main/CactusDefaultEvolve.c it looks like the start time is
computed only on the first step of the evolution; i.e. it does not
include the time taken for initial data.  If the initial data
computation is significant then the max_runtime is not correct.

Would it be straightforward to set the start time before the initial
data is computed?
