[mesa-users] Writing GYRE output in extras_check_model

I haven't thought this through carefully or tried anything, but how
about either calling GYRE yourself (i.e., call do_gyre_get_modes) in
extras_check_model or if you need to write the file, look in
star/public/star_lib.f90 and see if calling one of those routines (i.e.,
star_write_gyre_data_to_file) in extra_check_model will get you what you
need.

Hope that helps,
Josiah
