[mesa-users] Fixed accretor mass

[Pablo Marchant]

Odette, look for mass_transfer_alpha in here:

http://mesa.sourceforge.net/binary_controls_defaults.html

you have four mass_transfer_* options to specify the efficiency of mass
transfer, and from where mass is being lost, for instance, setting
mass_transfer_beta=0 would cause all mass transferred to be lost from the
system with the specific angular momentum of the accretor.
