Most importantly, in the GrADS code, both v1.9.0-rc1 and the v2 series.

Yes, the version in the supplibs is for libdap > 3.8.0.  A little history.
We had the old gadods that Joe wrote. There were substantial API changes
going from libdap 3.7 to 3.8 and gadap was broken beyond (simple) repair.
Jennifer gave what she had at the time (which had already some mods towards
libdap 3.8) and I hacked it away with help from James. With your help I
revised the autoconfiscation, tests, etc and checked in the supplibs and
have been using it since then for building v1.9 and v2.0. I am not sure if
Jennifer have been tracking the version in the repository or have made
changes starting from a tarball I sent her at some point.

Jennifer current sources appear to have 2 main mods:

1) Change n copyright: from Joe to COLA/IGES, something they had to do
2) Some directory renaming (from m4 to etc)
3) A new function for returning the version number

  I'll try to reconcile.
