note of thanks to Ralf in the netCDF RELEASE notes...

[Ed Hartnett]

Howdy all!

I'm sure many on this list will join me in thanking Ralf Wildenhues
for all his help getting our free software packages working with
autotools, and taking full advantage of these marvelous tools!

A bummer about being in the free software community is that few of
your users can send you a cash bonus! ;-)

But we can immortalize you in our software. (And it'll be in our
releases long after the cash bonus would be spent!) 

>From the latest netCDF release notes:

                Now netCDF configuration uses autoconf 1.61, and
                automake 1.10. (Thanks to Ralf Wildenhues for the
                patches, and all the autotools help in general!)

Thanks Ralf!
