Just to make things clear:
I am not really "upset". I understand that 
it's difficult to make things working with so many 
options and pkg and so on.
But it's also good to known what part of the code is meant 
to be customized ; and to stick to this general idea.
And all thoses arrays are a little misleading when 
running atmosphere config (because there are already 
SST arrays (0/1) defined for the atmosphere: aim_sst0,1 
that are, of course, different from SST0 & SST1).

BTW, I really want to see checkpoint48 done soon.
(because I would like to start to change the results and break
of lot of test-exp. hoops, I was not supposed to tell it !).
And FFIELDS.h can be changed after, if a better solution can
be found.

So, if no objection, I will go for checkpoint48 tomorrow morning.

Is it OK for you Patrick ?
