I looked through the patches and I don't see where the start-up
algorithm is modified. Also there are these two changes that I am not
sure about. The first changes the algorithm in the middle of a run.
The second changes the meaning of the "time" in the output file.
My guess is that a typical user wouldn't want to do either of these.
Someone doing a test, could modify the param.ccl themselves.
