[MITgcm-devel] density

[Baylor Fox-Kemper]

I'd be very much in favor.  It would make the PV calculations a lot  
easier too.  However, with nonlinear EOS, one would still need to  
calculate density again to figure out N^2.  But, it would be nicer to  
have that as a special case that gets called only with nonlinear EOS...
