[netCDF #TFE-190602]: NetCDF Install

If I may chime in; I'm developing on OSX as well, and I have found that 
the version of hdf5 that is provided by OSX-specific package management 
systems (homebrew, macports, fink) would often not work with netcdf very 
well.  Best to play it safe and build hdf5 by hand on the target machine 
as well.
