For a VECM $system bundle b, the following info is available:

b.detflags (includes unrestricted terms only)
b.xlist    (unrestricted exogenous vars other than deterministics)
b.rlist    (restricted exog. vars other than deterministics)
b.vecm_info.code

xlist and rlist are present only if applicable. The "code" value is 
the Johansen case, numbered from 0 to 4: it should probably be 
called "jcase" and maybe should be 1-based?
