[MITgcm-devel] pkg/icefront parameters in data.exf

Hi,

I would like to move the icefront EXF setting (mainly reading namelist
EXF_NML_SGRUNOFF + 1 call in exf_init_fixed.F) outside of pkg/exf 
into pkg/icefront.

I don't see where "sgrunofffile" is used in current code (was there in 
an old version of icefront_sgrunoff_read.F that has been removed in Nov 2013)
but it would be better to have it all within pkg/icefront.

And in general, when a pkg needs a field to be loaded using some EXF S/R,
this does not need to be set (half way) in data.exf and in the own pkg
parameter file: all parameters and setting can stay within the pkg code
and pkg parameter file (in fact, Oliver is already doing this for the new 
darwin pkg).

Currently, the other pkg to have a split list of parameters is obcs,
but since it has been like this for a while, I am not tempted to make 
changes there.

Any comment is welcomed.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
