Yes, thanks for reporting this.  The other C++ compilers we have
access to don't even warn about this.  I'll have to check that the
stricter syntax works with all of them too, but if it does, I'll
incorporate your fix into the next minor release.  In the meantime,
I've added an entry about this in our "Known Problems with the netCDF
3.5.0 Distribution" at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/known_problems.html

I'm forwarding your second question to Steve Emmerson, in case he
knows how to handle it:
