% Calculates the data required for fast interpolation from the cube to a
% latitude-longitude grid
%  x,y   are 2-D arrays of the cell-centered coordinates 
%  xi,yi are vectors of the new regular lat-lon grid to interpolate to.
%  del   is the transformation data used by cube2latlon_fast
%
% e.g.
% >> x=rdmds('XC');
% >> y=rdmds('YC');
% >> t=rdmds('Ttave.0000513360');
% >> xi=-179:2:180;yi=-89:2:90;
% >> del=cube2latlon_preprocess(x,y,xi,yi);
% >> ti=cube2latlon_fast(del,t);
