[IDV #RLU-656423]: HDF-EOS5 or HDF-EOS orbit/swath support

Hi James,

As you've found, there are some gaps in the netCDF-Java library's support for 
reading HDF, HDF5, HDF-EOS, and HDF5-EOS data. As we find sample datasets, we 
try to fill those gaps. We'll take a look at your sample file and get back to 
you.

Thanks,

Ethan
