Re: wrf_user_getvar

Wrfhelp and others,

It looks like the cape routines use this -1 value in a special way, so I will have to carefully think
about how and if this -1 should be changed to something like 1e20, or to the default NCL missing value
for a float or double.

I'm also want to be careful if there might be some user code that is checking for this
-1 value in some fashion. Changing this to some other value would break those existing codes.
