Lynton,

Yes, when you run the configure script to rebuild the Makefiles, specify
no Fortran or utilities are to be built and tested, which speeds things
up quite a bit:

  ./configure --disable-cxx --enable-netcdf-4 --disable-fortran-compiler-check \
              --disable-f77 --disable-utilities ...

Also, you should be able to just run "make check" in the cxx4 directory,
once you have built the library once with a "./configure ... ; make check"
step.
