[FLASH-USERS] Unsupported boundary condititions

Hi John,

Actually I did have grav_boundary_type set to "periodic" in my tries, 
but it doesn't seem like it changed anything.

The problem I'm trying to set up is a cosmological cluster simulation, 
where it is usually best to have "in/outflow" boundaries set (depending 
on the code) to prevent some unwanted effects in the hydrodynamics and 
particles.

Thanks and best regards,
Josef
