[ADMB Users] Multiple stage iteration limits

[Steve Martell]

Mark,

I would just declare a integer counter in the DATA_SECTION (i.e., the  
counter must have a global scope), then increment this counter in the  
procedure section.  If the phase changes then reset the counter (use  
the current_phase() command to check which phase our in).
