[netcdf-java] Renaming CoordinateAxis

[Jeff Van Dorn]

One poor man's solution, would be to just make a system call, and use  
the NCO (http://nco.sourceforge.net/) utility ncrename (http:// 
nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#ncrename-netCDF-Renamer), which can  
readily change variable names in netCDF files.  Just a thought.
