If a char valued attribute contains embedded nul characters,
then illegal xml will be generated when using the -x (ncml) flag.
There is not good solution since we have a char value '\0' that
is legal in a netcdf-c char valued attribute, but is completely
illegal in ncml (i.e. xml).
So, implemented hack is to go ahead and generate '�' entities
and then complain that we are generating illegal ncml.
The var struct has a 'dim' field which was not being used
Instead, the dimids field would always search for the dim
with the matching dimid. For db with large numbers of dims,
this could be a significant time sync.
Modified code to always set var-dim[i] when var->dimids[i] was
set (if the dim existed at that point). Then use the var->dim
field instead of var->dimids and search whenever requested.
All var->dim accesses are protected by asserts that verify
non-null and that the var->dim[]->dimid == var->dimids[].

In non-classic netcdf-4 models, it is allowable to have
large numbers of dims and vars. In many operations, the
entire list of dims or vars is searched for a dim/var matching
a specific name which results in *lots* of strncmp or strcmp
calls.
If we add a hash field to the var and dim structs similar to what
has already been done for the netcdf-3 formats, then we can hash the
name being searched for and numerically compare that value with
the var/dim hash value. If they match, then do a more expensive
strncmp call to ensure that the names truly match.
When using static libraries, some systems require that the libraries be ordered in dependency order. Since libhdf5_hl.a depends on symbols from libhdf5.a, it (libhdf5_hl.a) should be listed first. This was discovered and verified on RHEL-6 with gcc-5.2.0.
