[Support #ARV-969650]: IDV formulas

Jim-

Please send these to support-idv (and include the python error).  dmurray won't 
work much longer. ;-)

I assume you are using slices at different levels and getting an error about 
manifold dimension or some such thing.  The problem is that the resampling from 
one level to another is going to fail.  Although we tout the compatibility of 
Jython and VisAD, in reality if you are trying to do simple math functions 
(+,-,/,*) on different types of grids, you are better off using the GEMPAK 
syntax:

ADD(ADD(A,B),C)/3

I need to make functions like:

AVG(A,B,C,...)

These functions will remove the extra dimension which is causing you problems 
with the simple +, etc functions.

I'll look into this more tomorrow.
