transition document.

Remoted plain text release_notes moving forward.  Created a markdown
version of the README file as an experiment to see what we think. 
GitHub will render markdown natively, as does Doxygen and our new
build system.

# Unidata NetCDF
The Unidata network Common Data Form (netCDF) is an interface for
scientific data access and a freely-distributed software library that
provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also
defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data.
Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation,
access, and sharing of scientific data. The current netCDF software
provides C interfaces for applications and data. Separate software
distributions available from Unidata provide Java, Fortran, and C++
interfaces. They have been tested on various common platforms.
NetCDF files are self-describing, network-transparent, directly
accessible, and extendible. `Self-describing` means that a netCDF file
includes information about the data it contains. `Network-transparent`
means that a netCDF file is represented in a form that can be accessed
by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and
floating-point numbers. `Direct-access` means that a small subset of a
large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through
all the preceding data. `Extendible` means that data can be appended to
a netCDF dataset without copying it or redefining its structure.
NetCDF is useful for supporting access to diverse kinds of scientific
data in heterogeneous networking environments and for writing
application software that does not depend on application-specific
formats. For information about a variety of analysis and display
packages that have been developed to analyze and display data in
netCDF form, see

User's Guides are also available in several forms from the same
location.
A mailing list, netcdfgroup@unidata.ucar.edu, exists for discussion of
the netCDF interface and announcements about netCDF bugs, fixes, and
enhancements. For information about how to subscribe, see the URL

### 4.3.1 Released TBD
* Migrated from the netCDF-C `subversion` repository to a publically available GitHub repository available at https://github.com/Unidata/netCDF-C. This repository may be checked out (cloned) with the following command:
> $ git clone https://github.com/Unidata/netCDF-C.git
* Added a `NC_HAVE_RENAME_GRP` macro to netcdf.h, [as per the request by Charlie Zender][cz1]. This will allow software compiling against netcdf to easily query whether or not nc\_rename\_grp() is available.
