Release of VIC 4.0.3

August 15, 2000: VIC release 4.0.3

This release fixes a problem with the implementation of va_arg that
causes run time errors on some systems. Previous releases of the code
worked correctly on the LINUX and freeBSD systems where it was tested.
However on some systems (including Sun Ultra-2s) character variables
passed with va_arg are changed into integers so reading a character from
the argument list does not produce the value sent to the routine. The
character flags used by VIC to indicate if there is snow present and if
the frozen soil algorithm has been activated have now been converted to
integers, which should make the va_arg call work on all systems.

Also fixed in this release was a check in dist_prec.c to see if it is
still raining which actually used the memory address of the
precipitation variable rather than the daily value in the check.
