[gradsusr] Binary ncdump, ncgen, etc

[Arlindo da Silva]

All,

  I thought I should mention this. If you build grads from sources you may
have heard of the the opengrads pre-compiled supplibs: a bunch of libraries
that are needed for compiling and linking grads. When preparing these
libraries, a whole bunch of utilities gets built in the process, ncdump,
ncgen, h5copy, etc. We make these binaries also available on sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/supplibs/2.2.0/

Look for the suptools-*.tgz for your platform. These are mostly statically
built. Make sure to get the "suptools", not "suplibs", unless, of course,
you are building grads from sources.
