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.

If you have a shared library build, these other libraries are not
included, because they are not needed.

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...

This should work now. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
