[MITgcm-cvs] putting mnc init in fizhi (and land)

[Andrea Molod]

hi ed,
you asked to have this stuff sent to the devel list, you got it.

my understanding of the conversation with JM and you and myself
about where to initialize some of the package dependant mnc
stuff is that we ended up seeing that it SHOULD NOT be done inside
the package, but needs to be in mnc and/or the diagnostics if
the mnc stuff is only for diagnostics. (JM, do you recall???)

and structurally, i frankly can't see any reason why fizhi for 
instance has to know whether the diagnostics in the end will be 
output with mnc or mdsio. the same may go for the land. can you
imagine putting mnc init stuff inside of every package that has
its own size (or other) parameters that mnc has to know about?
that to me seems to be part of the functionality inside mnc....

so - maybe fizhi_mnc_init should be in mnc, with fizhi ifdefs
around it.

as for the land part, if the mnc init stuff MUST go in the land package, 
at a minimum shouldn't it be ifdef'd with mnc package?

oh yeah - WHAT is FIZHI_OPTIONS.h doing?
