[netCDF #ONX-810836]: managing different features

Hello,

It is generally suggested to have parallel and serial netCDF installed 
separately.  In the case of a netCDF3 install with pnetcdf, this is absolutely 
the case.  If pnetCDF support is enabled at configure time, then it will be 
used by the corresponding library.  When using hdf5 for file I/O, the netCDF 
library will use parallel I/O (or not) depending purely on how the HDF5 library 
was built.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
