New items for discussion

• Item from Jesse
  • It looks like at least in the capgen version the CCPP error message variable ("errmsg") is coded to be exactly 512 characters long. Given that host models and physics schemes are likely to use the CCPP error message variable, does it make sense to make a new character "kind" parameter that sets the max error message length, that could then be "used" by host models and physics schemes to ensure there are no character length conflicts anywhere?
