GrADS multi-threading support

[Brian Doty]

There has been discussion of this and a lot of interest from some of  
the scientists here at COLA.  It is not clear when, or if, it will get  
done.  I am guessing that if it happens, the HDF5 data format will be  
the target data format for any multi-threading in the I/O subsystem.   
I used to write multi-threaded code for IBM operating systems, so I  
have an idea of how much work is involved.  There may be some "low  
hanging fruit" that would be fairly easy to implement.  I'm also  
guessing that if we (or anyone) does it, the resulting version will be  
pretty unstable for a long time... Brian
