add 2 new sections - an intro to the changes in the model_mod interfaces,
and a section on the renaming of all the types/kind routines to the obs types
and quantity version.  this info has never been anywhere in the release before.
it certainly belongs a more places, but at least it's here now.

this needs more work but it's a process, right?

(and yes, i'm really intending to commit this to the rma_trunk this time.)

-In the Manhattan version of DART, the state vector is not required to be stored 
-completely on any process. This is achieved using Remote Memory Access (RMA).  
-The RMA programing model allows processes to read (and write) memory on other

+The two most significant changes
+in the Manhattan version of DART are it 
+can support running models with a state
+vector larger than the memory of a single task, removing a limit from
+the Lanai version of DART.  It also reads and writes NetCDF files
+directly instead of requiring a conversion from one file to another.
