[MITgcm-support] Porting MITgcm to Solaris x64

[Andrea Molod]

hi bill,
your step 7 below seems to have commented out the line
in SIZE.h that tells the model how many levels, which in
the case of exp2 should be 20. i think if you 'uncomment'
this line (why did you comment it out?) it should see
that there should be 20 levels and continue along.
