It would probably be easiest to add the desired global attributes to your CDL
file and run ncgen again.
Have you read the "Writing NetCDF Files: Best Practices" document
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/BestPractices.html)? It is a
very good summary of things to think about when creating a netCDF file. The
first section is about attribute convention which might be useful as you work
on global attributes.
Hope that helps.
