[netcdfgroup] endian-related issues

Hi:  There are a couple of new github issues that are potential C
library bugs discovered by python users.

1) netCDF4 cannot read from little-endian HDF4 files
(https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/113):  If an HDF4 file is
created with little endian data, the netcdf c library fails to read it
(ncdump says "NetCDF: Bad type ID.")

2) endian-ness flag not saved in file for float data types
(https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/112):  If a float variable
is created with a specified endian-ness, 'ncdump -s' shows that the
_Endianness attribute is not set.  It is with integer variables though.

Regards, Jeff
