+ - Add rules to build stream_inquiry and mpas_stream_inquiry
+ - Pass CPPFLAGS to the registry command
+ - Edit CPPFLAGS: add MPAS_BUILD_TARGET and add the GIT_VERSION using a shell command

+Summarize any changes to answers, i.e.,
+- what code configurations:
+- what platforms/compilers:
+- nature of change (roundoff; larger than roundoff but same climate; new
+  climate):
+
+If bitwise differences were observed, how did you show they were no worse
+than roundoff?
+
+If this tag changes climate describe the run(s) done to evaluate the new
+climate in enough detail that it(they) could be reproduced, i.e.,
+- source tag (all code used must be in the repository):
+- platform/compilers:
+- configure commandline:
+- build-namelist command (or complete namelist):
+- MSS location of output:
