opacity.py -- mtpts

So, I think this is the correct way to bring your attention to something?

In opacity.py, when you are reading opctab.dat using the roptab function, the variable mtpts is hardcoded as 39.

This is the typical value used in opctab.dat but this can actually vary and some older versions of the RADYN version that Joel, Adam, and I used have mtpts = 34.

Would it be possible to have this as a keyword, defaulted to 39, that the user can vary?

Okay, the original was just based on the version of the IDL code I had. At first glance it would be best to see if we can infer the value from the structure of the file somehow. Does one of the variables let us easily figure this out? Otherwise it should be a kwarg, but I would rather have it as idiot-proof as possible if it's something that can vary.

I'll check but I imagine so -- it is the number of temperature points used.
