another suggested patch for c++

After much work and tire spinning, we (Steve Matheson, actually)
finally have the g++ parts of netcdf working here at Dalhousie
Oceanography.  Many thanks are owed to many kind folks who helped us.

In particular, the c++/nctst program works fine.

But when I tried c++/example (a better skeleton for my actual
requirements) it failed to compile, e.g. I got

  g++ -o example -I/opt/netcdf/include example.cc -L/opt/netcdf/lib 
-lnetcdf_c++ -lnetcdf
  example.cc: In function `int main()':
  example.cc:10: `Clobber' is not a member of type `NcFile'
  example.cc:10: in base initialization for class `NcNewFile'
  example.cc:15: warning: `return' with no value, in function returning non-void
  *** Error code 1

The following patch fixes two errors in c++/example.cc.  Can they
please be incorporated into the newest patch (5, I think) for netcdf?
(I'm presuming here that we have properly installed patches 3 and 4,
evidence for which is the fact that we've got c++/nctst to work ok.)
I'm posting this patch to help other folks in the meantime.
