but after some discussion, I think I need to clarify that response.
The support for NcML in the C library most likely will not initially
include the aggregation capabilities that were recently added to Java
netCDF.  It turns out that implementing scalable aggregation involves
more than I thought, so adding aggregation will probably be delayed
until after version 4.1.
