[CIG-LONG] How to enable melting in Gale, etc.?

[ZhangQingwen]

Hi, Walter,Many thanks for your reply! 
I pay special attention to melting because it have strong feedback on rheology of rock if melting occur. 
Melting has been part of underworld as well as the surface process (e.g., erosion), the latter is also included by Gale. Similarly, do you think it's a good idea if I add the melting capability to Gale as a new plug-in and make it work by setting "enble-melting": true ? 
If so, what I need to do is perhaps to transplant underworld's existing plug-in to gale, or do I underestimate the troubles in doing so?
Regards,Qingwen
