The question is whether the OPeNDAP layer underneath NetCDF-4 causes any
namespace conflict. I got the impression from Dennis that it would. I take

BTW, I don't know if you noticed, but I contributed a nc-config script to
netcdf. This makes it much easier to discover all the dependencies in the
configure macros.
