Note that for building netCDF, it is not necessary to build the HDF5
Fortran, C++, or Java API's. Only the HDF5 C library is used.
Optionally, you can also build netCDF-4 with the szip 2.0 library
(a.k.a. szlib). NetCDF cannot create szipped data files, but can read
HDF5 data files that have used szip.
