Current blocker are...

• There are no Windows packages ( https://github.com/conda-forge/netcdf-cxx4-feedstock/issues/20 ).
• Unix platforms fail to detect it (or I'm missing something).

@demarle, any idea why VTK doesn't pick up on the NetCDF C++ interface? Is there some way we can "coax" it to use the conda package instead?

I think the problem is the issue raised here:

Can this be closed? I think the version of NetCDF C++ was the "legacy" version, not the netcdf-cxx4 package, and has been removed in the meantime.

Closing this because I think it isn't relevant anymore.
