[MITgcm-support] netcdf output

[Baylor Fox-Kemper]

Jaime,
   Make sure you

>  include mnc in ./code/packages.conf

Also, make sure that when you call genmake that it's actually seeing 
the right packages.conf.  I usually use a shell script to compile in 
the build directory.  It does the following.

make CLEAN
ROOTDIR=~baylor/Research/MITgcm.checking
export ROOTDIR
$ROOTDIR/tools/genmake2 -mods=../code 
-optfile=$ROOTDIR/tools/build_options/darw
in_ppc_g77
make depend
make -j 2

The critical thing here is to make sure that you're using the 
-mods=../code.

You can check to see whether its working when genmake runs.  It will 
spit out something like 'enabling packages' and then ALLOW_MNC should 
be in the list.
