[MITgcm-support] testreport and genmake2

[Martin Losch]

Hi,

I have figured out how to use gm_local, thanks for your patience while 
I was whining.

But, .... I'd like to whine some more about ./testreport and genmake2:
Is it really necessary that, everytime you rerun testreport, genmake2 
overwrites the CPP_OPTIONS.h file, thereby forcing a complete rebuild? 
Even on fast machines this really slows down progess to such a degree, 
that I really don't feel like using this script at all. Something like 
the -quick option of the old testscript would be nice ...

Equally, is it essential, that genmake2 by itself overwrites 
CPP_OPTIONS.h every time you run it? Also, is it intended that the 
ALLOW_PACKAGE flags in CPP_OPTIONS.h are obsolete? They get redefined 
at the end of the file by genmake2, so that I have to decide which pkg 
I want to use at the genmake2 level, and having them in the 
CPP_OPTIONS.h is even misleading ...

Martin
