; NAME:
;    dustem_initialize_ext
;
; PURPOSE:
;    Initializes an empty Dustem EXT structure
;
; CATEGORY:
;    DUSTEM Wrapper, Distribued, Low-Level
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;    st=dustem_initialize_ext(Next[,/help])
;
; INPUTS:
;    Next: Number of elements/filters in the EXT structure

; OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:

;    st = EXT structure
;    The structure contains the following tags
;      instru  : name of the instrument. Actually not used by DustemWrap.
;      filter  : name of the filter. Actually defines the wavelength, the flux convention, etc ...
;      wave    : wavelength in microns. Actually not used by DustemWrap. [microns]
;      EXT_I   : Total Extinction Cross-section (a.k.a. Ext_I) [cm^2/H]
;      EXT_Q   : Q Extinction Cross-section [cm^2/H]
;      EXT_U   : U Extintion Cross-section  [cm^2/H]
;      EXT_P   : P Extinction Cross-section [cm^2/H] (computed from EXT_Q,EXT_U or directly from VG's models)
;      EXT_smallp  : Smallp Extinction Cross-section (Extinction polarization fraction) []
;      psi     : polarization angle [deg] (computed from EXT_Q,EXT_U)
;      sigextII : = error^2 (for completness on sigmas) [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextQQ : variance on Q [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextUU : variance on U [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextIQ : IQ covariance [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextIU : IU covariance [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextQU : QU covariance [cm^2/H^2]
;      sigextP : uncertainty on largep [cm^2/H]
;      sigextsmallp = uncertainty on smallp [] 
;      sigextpsi  : uncertainty on psi [deg]
;
; OPTIONAL OUTPUT PARAMETERS:
;    comments : string comments about the EXT SED
