[gdal-dev] Motion: Promote GDAL 1.9.0RC1 as GDAL 1.9.0 Final

Tue Jan 3 21:46:42 EST 2012

OK, I have NetCDF now with HDF4/5 & DAP.  Now configure problems again (again, netcdf is static library, as are HDF4, HDF5 and DAP):

My netcdf needs curl (it defaults to using curl), but GDAL doesn't test netcdf with that (curl is tested much later).

Netcdf4 also needs some symbols from libhdf5_hl, but this is not checked for.
