No it won't be challenging since we already use --disable-netcdf... In
fact it is sometime required to be able to link with hdf and netcdf 
together, first time it came in was for gdal (or grass), on Wed Feb  8 2006.

I comaintain HDF4 on fedora with Orion Poplawski.

It supports the NetCDF-3 API but does it support the netcdf files?

Anyway there is support for both hdf4 builds with enable-dyn-supplibs
(in hdf4.m4). If a build with sd_ appended (--disable-netcdf) is detected 
hdf2netcdf.h is included (to be seen in configure.ac).
