Juliane has been making more progress on this. But primarily I can't help but
also comment on this:

You may be asking for too much here. We strive to provide a good geodynamics 
code, but religious models are probably outside of what we can provide :-)

If your melt doesn't migrate, this is already possible. Juliane is working on 
models where melt is also migrating.
