Re: build system updates on cvs

Hello BASIN group,

I my last email I neglected to mention the addition of the
README_PACKAGE_DEV file in the basin_kernel directory. This file
contains directions for how to incorporate a new package into the
basin_kernel build process. I hope the directions are straightforward
and simple.

Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.
