I'd appreciate any information/hints about adding the ability to read/write column major matrices using netcdf++. It looks like I need to add C++ wrappers for ncvgt_ and ncvptg_, has anyone beaten me to this? If it doesn't exist, I think this feature would be very useful: many of the netlib C++ packages that do linear algebra/numerical analysis (MV++, lapack++, fftpack++, as well as the languages Sather and Splus) use column major storage to get clean linking with legacy Fortran routines.
