20010830: I modified GEMPAK to decoded Canada cloud types in METAR



Christian,

I would be happy to look at your changes.

I try not to make any changes that I would have to continually
update when I get new releases of GEMPAK from NCEP. Rather,
I would ask if they wanted to accept these additions.
If the changes are isolated into a bridge/mt routine, it should
be straight forward. 

Also, if you can provide a reference for the RMK coding practice used
by CMC that would be helpful.
