      !! ** Purpose :   Lay out the global domain over processors.
      !!      If land processors are to be eliminated, this program requires the
      !!      presence of the domain configuration file. Land processors elimination
      !!      is performed if jpni x jpnj /= jpnij. In this case, using the MPP_PREP
      !!      preprocessing tool, help for defining the best cutting out.
      !!
      !! ** Method  :   Global domain is distributed in smaller local domains.
      !!      Periodic condition is a function of the local domain position
      !!      (global boundary or neighbouring domain) and of the global periodic
      !!
