[MITgcm-devel] recent changes not tested

Hello Martin,

I removed diffKrT and diffKrS from PARAMS.h and replaced them by 
diffKrNrT and diffKrNrS.
I made the corresponding changes in pkg my82, ggl90 and pp81,
I compiled thoses 3 pkgs but didn't test them.

An other thing:
I've seen that (in fact in all those 3 pkg) you set KappaRS
to be strictly equal to KappaRT, even if diffKrS is not equal to
diffKrT.

There might be some cases (for example when you use a more diffusive
advection scheme for S than for T) where you want a different background
of vertical diffusivity for T & S (especially in the interior), 
and add on top of it, the vertical diffusitity that pp81 computes.

I know it's already like this with ptracers, but ...

Cheers,

Jean-Michel
