[netcdfgroup] 4.2-rc1, ncgen, _Format attribute

Hi,
I built netcdf-4.2-rc1 and I was not able to create a file using ncgen unless I included the '-k kind' option. With this option omitted, nothing happens.
I hope this is not intentional because it would be a step in the wrong direction. My goal is to *never* use the -k option, but rather to use the _Format attribute within the CDL to define the output file type at run-time. Based on earlier discussions I've had with Unidata, and some documentation I've seen, this was the intent of the _Format attribute. Using -k would override what is in the CDL. Now I'm not sure what to think. 

Thanks ...
