Howdy Davide!

I assure you that we are very much interested in your opinion of netCDF. We are 
most anxious to help our colleagues up on the hill!

The change in how the locations of the various libraries is handled was in 
response to several bugs. The full explanation can be found in our Jira 
database. You can see the ticket here:

Thanks,

Ed
