[netcdfgroup] Vogon netCDF poem...

Howdy all fans of Vogon poetry!

When working on an issue in the test code, I came across this literary gem
in one of the ncdump tests (ncdump/tst_create_files.c):

See, see the netCDF-filled sky
Marvel at its big barf-green depths.
Tell me, Ed do you
Wonder why the yellow-bellied Snert ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel ubiquitous obliquity?
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your HDF5-eating facial growth
That looks like
A moldy pile of ASCII data.
What's more, it knows
Your redimensioning potting shed
Smells of booger.
Everything under the big netCDF-filled sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm software defects.
