New LDM server for EMWIN-only feed

Steve,

At issue is the fake FOS blocks; with NOAAPort, we can fake the FOS  
catalog number by using the last three digits of the NOAAPort product  
sequence number.  EMWIN, though, doesn't have transport headers from  
which to grab such a number.

My first iteration for Gilbert used a count based on the find return  
through the unzipped data . . . but this was found to be unreliable  
as the find packaged with Solaris returned a different order than the  
find with Linux.

So, for the meantime, I used Jim Cowie's solution - 999.

This makes the EMWIN distributed data, then, different than the  
NOAAPort data . . . because of the fake FOS header.  At least as far  
as MD5 checksum is considered.
