[wrfems] Using multiple --sfc datasets

[Robert Rozumalski]

Jonathan,

I just noticed that you were specifying "--sfc <data set>" twice. The 
current convention is
"--sfc <high priority data set>,<lower priority data set>"

That said, I just added this (undocumented) capability to the next 
release so that the passing of multiple
"--sfc" and "--lsm" flags will be handled as expected.
