[MITgcm-devel] inconsistencies with density conversion

Hi Jean-Michel,

You are right, I left debugging output statements in my code when I 
generated the output*txt files and I didn't actually check in my 
comments to tag-index.

As you can tell, I'm still getting the hang of checking in code changes 
instead of working in my own private universe, please be patient while I 
figure it all out!

Step 2 is completed.  seaice_growth.F is updated and several 
verification output*txt files needed updating.

I'll do the variable renaming in Step 3, once Step 2 comes back as working.
