[netCDF #VIG-404579]: caching

If by "this functionality" you mean providing some sort of transparent packing 
and unpacking as 
currently exists for compression with netCDF-4, then yes, that's on our list of 
features to add.  
However it's not clear that using an HDF5 filter is the way we would implement 
it.

Thanks for the offer.  We'll keep everyone on the netcdfgroup mailing list 
apprised of new developments
that provide better support for the Windows platform.
