[netCDF #NHN-213049]: Which netcdf4 release to build with hdf5, please.

Hello,

The latest releases you are using should be fine; which is to say netCDF-C 
4.4.0 and netCDF-Fortran 4.4.3.  You should also use hdf5 1.8.16; they have 
recently released hdf5 1.10, but this will produce files that cannot be read by 
netcdf systems using older versions of the library.

The `--with-hdf5=` option is not used by netCDF.  Instead, you should use 
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to set the location of your hdf5 library.  If you provide 
the config.log file generated when you run `configure`, I can try to provide 
more specific help.

I hope this is useful,

-Ward
