Good point. I have updated the wiki.

Yes, kinda. I believe the netcdf routines are still there with a different
(mangled) name. However, supplibs-2.0.1 contain a more recent version of
hdf4. So far I've trying to keep the builds consistent across all the
platforms (using same version of the libraries). For this reason the simpler
direction in the wiki:

*VERY IMPORTANT: * Use *supplibs-2.0.0* for building GrADS v1.9; use *
supplibs-2.0.1* and newer for building GrADS v2.0.

As for the "-e" in the GNUmake it is there for historical reasons: initially
not all packages had autoconf in them. It is no longer useful. So, I'll
remove it as you suggest.
