[MITgcm-support] activating the cfc package, CFC input history and netCDF output

[Stephanie Dutkiewicz]

Karsten -
The files etc you need are in 
verification/cfc_example/input

You can also then check what the data* files need to look
like.

I haven't tried the cfc package offline - so will be interested
to see hos easily this works!
