[MITgcm-devel] making model_ad_diff.list shorter

Hi Patrick,

I am going to remove few files from "model_ad_diff.list" (in model/src),
mainly the grid initialisation routines + few others called from
initialise_fixed.F

Motivation:
1) it reduces the size of the transfert to/from fastopt
 and might be little bit faster to compile.
2) some of these routines contain pieces of code that can be tricky
 for the fortran compiler to optimise; we might want to put some
 of them in the NOOPTFILES list (and it would be OK since not much
 time is spent during the run in these S/R) but this feature is now 
 (after TAF version 2 modifications) disabled for routines sent to TAF.

Do you agree ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
