Gempak6a: Nsharp

Just a comment:

The config file for nsharp has a default section for the retrieval of data
($NAWIPS/resource/Nsharp), which states:

! #########################################################################
! Data locations if environmental variables not found, default will search:
!    $GEMDATA/upperair, $GEMDATA/acars, $HDS, respectively
!

Even if $GEMDATA and $HDS are defined before compile time, they are not used
at runtime.  Instead the values defined in $NAWIPS/resource/Nsharp are used:

Nsharp*obssndg_sel.pattern:             /data/ldm/gempak/upperair/*upa*
Nsharp*acarsndg_sel.pattern:            /data/ldm/gempak/acars/*acars*
Nsharp*pfcsndg_sel.pattern:             /data/ldm/gempak/upperair/*.snd
Nsharp*mdlsharp_sel.pattern:            /data/ldm/gempak/hds/*.gem
Nsharp*sharp_sel.pattern:               /data/ldm/gempak/*

Shouldn't $GEMDATA and $HDS be the default?
