Netcdf group:

I find it annoying when ncdump stops if a variable in the -v list
is not found on the file. It would be better if it just printed a
warning and continued. Because of this I have to customize ncdump
commands for different project files.  I could certainly write my
own ncdump code w/ IDL or some other language, but it might help 
others if ncdump could be improved in this way. Does anyone know
if such a "smart" ncdump already exists?
