Have "buildnml" completely replace "build-namelist"?

[nusbaume]

Just like the "buildcpp" and "configure" scripts discussed in issue #6, it looks like the "buildnml" script in the "cime_config" directory is mostly just a wrapper for the larger "build-namelist" perl script in CAM's "bld" directory.

Given this, is there any interest in eliminating the "build-namelist" script, and instead having the "buildnml" script do the work of actually creating the CAM namelist? Doing this would also potentially help implement issue #8 as well, if that is also of interest.

I believe we should be able to eliminate build-namelist and I recommend heading down that path.
One requirement will be to merge our namelist defaults (namelist_defaults.xml) into namelist_definitions.xml. It's on my list . . .

Another thing we will need to do is break up namelist_definitions.xml into pieces so we only assemble the pieces needed for a run.

I believe this has been done.
