[netCDFJava #ZWR-336305]: trying to geolocate an HDF file

Hi Don:

Yes, you can use NcML, though you wont be able to able to apply it to more than 
one file if the files have a different projection.

More general would be to write a CoordSysBuilder that could look at the gloabal 
attributes and add the correct coordinates. An example that is similar is

ucar.nc2.dataset.conv.IFPSConvention (and other classes in 
ucar.nc2.dataset.conv)
