• support for time-varying open boundary conditions in CICE (see #21)
• support for data assimilation of sea ice concentration via COIN algorithm in CICE (see #31)
• support for hourly restart file dump in CICE (see #35)
• support for CICE to handle relative humidty
• addition of new ROMS source code to the repository (SVN version 1041)

Changes to the surrounding scripting framework:

• added python tool generate CICE boundary files
• general improvements to metroms/tools/*.py scripts
