Howdy Jed!

Here at NetCDF World Headquarters, in sunny Boulder, Colorado, there are only 
two full-time programmers engaged on work for the C/Fortran/C++ libraries, and, 
naturally, we have our hands full with the features that we are trying to get 
working. 

While both Dennis and I would like a better build system, we don't necessarily 
have a lot of extra time to try out various different ways of doing things. 
Consequently, I'm not sure how to do what you suggest, and don't really have a 
lot of time for experimentation.

But netCDF is a community enterprise, and if you would like to make the edits 
to the Makefile.am files to implement your suggestion, and give it a try, then 
you could send us diffs and we could see exactly what you mean.

Thanks,

Ed
