[IDV #RRO-595092]: can IDV access .gem files?

Hi Bill-

Currenly we don't read in GEMPAK files.  It's on the potential list of
things to do, but at this point it is not a high priority.  Our focus has been
on raw formats and netCDF, since we have limited resources to throw
at the file format issues.
