Hello

nc-config --cflags allows you to determine what the appropriate values for 
CFLAGS are, when building against libnetcdf.  For example, if I were 
configuring a program which I had written, using a `configure` script, to link 
against netCDF at compile time, I would use it as follows:

    $ CFLAGS=$(nc-config --cflags) LDFLAGS=$(nc-config --libs) ./configure 
[other options specific to my setup]

Where $(nc-config --cflags) passes the output of the command to the 
environmental variable, CFLAGS.

I hope this helps clarify things, thanks!
