The function works with a different number of members for obs and mod 

It has been included as a new trunk in R, and consits of some post-processing functions coded in R but wihtout the constraint of the 'common_diagnostics.txt' structure. This is useful for 1-D (time series) and 2- or 3-D (lon,lat,time) dataset arrays.   

'HadCRUT3glo'/'HadSST2oc'/'CRUTEM3land'/'NCDCglo'/'NCDCland'/'NCDCoc'/'GISSglo'/'GISland'/'GISSoc'
These datasets are area-averaged time-series : the glo/land/oc part of the arguments reminds of over which surface the tos/tas are averaged (global/ocean/land)
The arguments 'NOAA' and 'UKMO' are now called 'ERSST' and 'HADISST' but 'NOAA' and 'UKMO'  still works for compatibility purposes.
This version is also available as /cfu/pub/scripts/R/common_diagnostics_v15.txt toward which /cfu/pub/scripts/R/common_diagnostics.txt is linked

Added directories for main line of development of CFU postprocessing (trunk/postp) and R diagnostics (trunk/R) scripts.
