[netCDF #IWF-312871]: issue with link to both NetCDF and HDF libraries

["Unidata netCDF Support" <support-netcdf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When you build the HDF4 library, you can use the -DHAVE_NETCDF option
for the C compiler, as described in this HDF Newsletter article:

  http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/newsletters/newsletter21.html#2

And here's a little more information about a workaround for a problem
you may encounter when using that option:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/netcdf/msg02412.html

If you have the very latest version 4.2r3, they've changed the name of this
option:

	- Modified the HDF4 mfhdf library and configure to work in the
	  absence of the NetCDF-3 header files when the HDF4 library
	  is configured with the --disable-netcdf flag. This feature is
	  required when building the ESDIS Toolkit in the presence of the
	  NetCDF-3 library. In this case, the HDF4 file netcdf.h is used
	  to build the HDF4 libraries and is installed under the name
	  "hdf4_netcdf.h" to avoid a name clash with the NetCDF-3 file
	  netcdf.h.
	  From ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF/HDF_Current/src/RELEASE-4.2r3.txt
