[Openmcl-devel] Github Contrib stuff?

[David L. Rager]

Having a separate ccl-contrib repository seems pretty reasonable to me.

Imho, ccl-contrib should be a git submodule of the ccl repo.  Thus,
it'd be good to include the --recursive option in the git clone
command provided in the readme that says how to get CCL from github.

But, that's just my $0.02.

Thanks,
David
