20050816: netcdf libraries

Dorothy,

The IRIX configuration of GEMPAK 5.8.3a is to build (using C99)
the default library configuration (n32 or o32) of your system.
Also, the GEMPAK distribution builds its own libnetcdf.a which
will be compatible with itself and installs in $NAWIPS/netcdf/irix/lib.
At that point, you only have to build a udunits library again using the
default library format of your system.

I do provide dcreanal2 in the GEMPAK distribution for converting reanalysis 
data as well, but you probably have particular configurations of your
own program to maintain.
