Not completly related, but may be relevant for the future, I updated
opengrads such that hdf4_netcdf.h may be used instead of netcdf.h, since
it is what is shipped in HDF4.2r3.

If I recall well, to use HDF4.2r2 from the supplibs compiled with
--disable-netcdf, you'll have to
#define HDF_HAVE_NETCDF 1
and maybe manually copy the netcdf.h hdf header to the include
directory.

To use HDF4.2r3, you'll also have to set
#define HAVE_HDF4_NETCDF_H 1

I guess that #define HAVE_HDF4_NETCDF_H 1 is needed even if HDF4.2r3 is not
configured with --disable-netcdf.


I would have liked to work in parallel on grads-2, but I haven't found a
repository with the code.
