The MetadataSource actor has been around since June 2005 but apparently was
never added to the actor tree when kar system was created. It is used in the
'EcogridWriterTest.xml' workflow in $KEPLER/workflows/test/ to provide metadata
to the EcogridWriter. It needs to be added to the actor tree and perhaps
extended to allow metadata input on ports (in additon to the parameter input)
for use in saving GARP best rulesets.
