[netCDF #SZV-506829]: excessive warnings when accessing HDF4 from netCDF



Hi Charlie,

If you build netCDF with --enable-logging, then put the following in
your code:

nc_set_log_level(3);

You will then get a ton of output. Trying changing the "3" to a "1" to
get less output, or to a 5 to get more.

Yes, we're glad THG provided this, so we could make it available in the
netCDF C and Fortran APIs.
