Modified GAM.R interpolation script to 1) simplify validation results, 2) add full prediction (rather than just stations) and 3) some other (hopefully) simplifications and improvements.

Updated GHCN_stations script to:

1) draw station location information from postgres database and perform merge/join query within database rather than r
2) add function to buffer region of interest to include stations outside region (to minimize edge effects)

Merging with bp/interp to use some of Benoit's code for precip interpolation

Merge branch 'bp/interp' into aw/precip
