This seems quite useful, from your description.  If you would be willing
to package the utilities up as a single software distribution, I'd be
happy to make the package available in the netcdf contrib library.

Also, if you want to keep up-to-date information about your package
available to users, you might want to consider putting up a web page
that will have the latest information about availability, updates, etc.
It may be overkill for a small package, but if a URL was available, we
could put a pointer to it in our list of netCDF-related software at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html

Anyway, thanks for your efforts and for your generosity in contributing
the software to netCDF users.
