[gdal-dev] netcdf driver does not support VSIFILE

All VSIFILE interfaces (/vsicurl/ , /vsigzip/ , etc.) do not work with
the netcdf driver.

As the netcdf driver uses libnetcdf, I'm not sure the driver can be
modified to use the "large file API".

Can someone comment on this?

The GTiff driver support VSI, how is this done given that the driver
uses libgeotiff? Does the tifvsi.cpp/ file make this possible, by
acting as a proxy?  If so, can a similar thing be done with libnetcdf?

thanks,
Etienne
