[Shake-dev] bug in "grind.conf" "strictbounds" parameter

[Howard G Bundock]

Bruce, others -

I found, to my dismay, that when I created strict boundaries in my 
"grind.conf" for event 40195801 this morning, I created a ShakeMap 
centered in Mexico.

The problem is a mismatch between the code for strictbounds in "grind", 
and the description of how to use the parameter in "grind.conf".

I chose to change the description in "grind.conf" since the "split on 
whitespace" code in grind seems to be more consistent with previous 
parameters (ie. mapbuf.)

This is current -  parameter values split by slashes

###########################################################################
# strictbound: fixes the map in place and size given by the argument.
# There is no default and this parameter is not required.
# Usage:
#
#       strictbound : W/S/E/N
#
# For example:
#
#       strictbound : -118.5/33.5/-117.5/34.25
#
# Would center a 1.0 degree by 0.75 degree map approximately over Los
# Angeles.

Should be changed to - parameter values split by whitespace
