Adding a new MET tool to the autoconf build system

The source code for individual tools resides in met/src/tools/<category>/<tool name>. The subdir can be either core, other, or tc_utils (tropical cyclone utils).

To add a new tool to the autoconf build system:

1. Create a new subdir <category>/new_tool

2. In the new_tool subdir, five files should be created:

• Makefile.am
• new_tool.cc
• new_tool.h
• new_tool_conf_info.cc
• new_tool_conf_info.h

3. Edit <category>/Makefile.am and add a new_tool entry to the SUBDIRS list

SUBDIRS = <existing tool> \
    ...
    <existing_tool> \
    new_tool

4. In met/data/config, one file should be created:

• NewToolConfig_default

5. Edit met/data/config/Makefile.am and add a NewToolConfig_default entry to the config_DATA list

6. Edit met/configure.ac and add the entry src/tools/<category>/new_tool/Makefile to the AC_CONFIG_FILES() argument list
