[netcdfgroup] nc-config --libs output -- should it include hdf5 libs if netcdf-4 enabled

Should the nc-config --libs output show the hdf5 libraries that need to be included on the link line in addition to the -lnetdf? This also applies to the curl and opendap and ... options. 
It would make it easier to have a generic build line for an executable 
that would not change depending on whether netcdf-4 was enabled or not 
enabled.  For example "cc -o my_exe `nc-config --cflags` my_exe.c 
`nc-config --libs`" should work for all cases.  As it is now, additional 
logic is needed in each makefile/configure/build system that uses the 
netcdf library.  It would be very nice if that complexity were embedded 
in nc-config...

I'm sure there is good reasoning behind the current behavior, but if 
not, I would like to request either a modification to the --libs output, 
or perhaps another option that listed all libs needed for linking...

Thanks,
--Greg
