WRFV311 on Snow Leopard

I tried compiling WRF on a Snow Leopard (SL) Mac, and found I had to make a few adjustments to my configure.wrf files. First of all, ifort version 11 appears to be needed. I also needed to revert to the (now) older version of the gcc compiler. Change "gcc" or "cc" on the SCC and CC_TOOLS lines to "gcc-4.0". I'm not sure if this is ifort's problem or mine, but at least it appears to be resolved.

The issue this resolved was a segfault in executing tools/registry for the creation of the module_state_description.F file.
