Well, I tested it before checking in, but didn't check in everything
(it's the age...).

11     \subsection{Introduction}
12    
13     The development of OpenAD was initiated as part of the
14     ACTS (Adjoint Compiler Technology \& Standards) project funded by the NSF Information Technology Research (ITR) program.
15     The main goals for OpenAD initially defined for the ACTS project are:
16     %
17     \begin{enumerate}
18     %
19     \item
20     develop a flexible, modular, open source tool that can ge`nerate adjoint codes of numerical simulation programs,
21     %
22     \item
23     establish a platform for easy implementation and testing of source transformation algorithms via a language-independent abstract intermediate representation,
24     %
25     \item
26     support for source code written in C and Fortan,
27     %
28     \item
29     generate efficient tangent linear and adjoint for the
30     MIT general circulation model.
31     %
32     \end{enumerate}
33    
34     OpenAD's homepage is at \texttt{http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/OpenAD/}.
35     A development WIKI is at
36     \texttt{http://wiki.mcs.anl.gov/OpenAD/index.php/Main\_Page}.
37     From the WIKI's main page, click on \texttt{Handling GCM} for
38     various aspects pertaining to differentiating the MITgcm with OpenAD.
39    
40     \subsection{Downloading and installing OpenAD}
41    
42     The OpenAD webpage has a detailed description on how to download and
43     build OpenAD. From its homepage, please click on
44     \texttt{Download Test Binaries}.
45     You may either download pre-built binaries for quick trial,
46     or follow the detailed build process described at
47     \texttt{http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/OpenAD/access.html}

49     \subsection{Building MITgcm adjoint with OpenAD}
50    
51     \textbf{17-January-2008}
52    
53     OpenAD was successfully built on head node of
54     \texttt{itrda.acesgrid.org}, for following system:
55    
56     \begin{verbatim}
57     > uname -a
58     Linux itrda 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Aug 15 12:34:26 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
59    
60     > cat /proc/version
61     Linux version 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 (brewbuilder@hs20-bc2-4.build.redhat.com)
62     (gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 15 12:34:26 EDT 2007
63    
64     > module load ifc/9.1.036 icc/9.1.042
65     \end{verbatim}
66    
67     Head of MITgcm branch (checkpoint59m with some modif.s) was used for building
68     adjoint code.
69     Following routing needed special care (revert to revision 1.1):
