Yes, that would work.  You could also still specify --prefix=/home/local,
as long as there are no conflicts in the names of libraries, include files,
or executables between HDF5 and netCDF.  I'm pretty sure that would work
also, and would have the advantage of simpler linking for applications,
becasue only one library directory would have to be specified (or added
to LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
