@NAME       : mincconcat
@INPUT      : argc, argv - command line arguments
@OUTPUT     : (none)
@RETURNS    : error status
@DESCRIPTION: Program to allow concatentation of multiple minc files, either
              adding a new dimension, or expanding a dimension of size 1.
@METHOD     : 
@GLOBALS    : 
@CALLS      : 
@CREATED    : March 7, 1995 (Peter Neelin)
@MODIFIED   : 
 * $Log: mincconcat.c,v $
 * Revision 6.15  2008-01-17 02:33:02  rotor
 *  * removed all rcsids
 *  * removed a bunch of ^L's that somehow crept in
 *  * removed old (and outdated) BUGS file
 *
 * Revision 6.14  2008/01/12 19:08:15  stever
 * Add __attribute__ ((unused)) to all rcsid variables.
 *
 * Revision 6.13  2005/08/26 21:07:17  bert
 * Use #if rather than #ifdef with MINC2 symbol, and be sure to include config.h whereever MINC2 is used
 *
 * Revision 6.12  2005/07/15 17:38:08  bert
 * Add -filestarts option
 *
 * Revision 6.11  2004/12/14 23:52:08  bert
 * Get rid of compilation warnings w/c99
 *
 * Revision 6.10  2004/11/01 22:38:38  bert
 * Eliminate all references to minc_def.h
 *
 * Revision 6.9  2004/04/27 15:37:13  bert
 * Added -2 flag
 *
 * Revision 6.8  2001/09/18 15:32:39  neelin
 * Create image variable last to allow big images and to fix compatibility
 * problems with 2.3 and 3.x.
 *
 * Revision 6.7  2001/08/16 16:41:33  neelin
 * Added library functions to handle reading of datatype, sign and valid range,
 * plus writing of valid range and setting of default ranges. These functions
 * properly handle differences between valid_range type and image type. Such
 * difference can cause valid data to appear as invalid when double to float
 * conversion causes rounding in the wrong direction (out of range).
 * Modified voxel_loop, volume_io and programs to use these functions.
 *
 * Revision 6.6  2001/08/16 13:32:33  neelin
 * Partial fix for valid_range of different type from image (problems
 * arising from double to float conversion/rounding). NOT COMPLETE.
 *
 * Revision 6.5  2001/04/24 13:38:42  neelin
 * Replaced NC_NAT with MI_ORIGINAL_TYPE.
 *
 * Revision 6.4  2001/04/17 18:40:17  neelin
 * Modifications to work with NetCDF 3.x
 * In particular, changed NC_LONG to NC_INT (and corresponding longs to ints).
 * Changed NC_UNSPECIFIED to NC_NAT.
 * A few fixes to the configure script.
 *
 * Revision 6.3  2000/07/07 13:33:34  neelin
 * Added option -filelist to read file names from a file. This gets around
 * command-line length limits.
 *
 * Revision 6.2  1999/10/19 14:45:19  neelin
 * Fixed Log subsitutions for CVS
 *
 * Revision 6.1  1998/08/13 19:34:37  neelin
 * Always create concatenation coordinate variable subscription by
 * dimension.
 *
 * Revision 6.0  1997/09/12  13:24:15  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.6
 *
 * Revision 5.0  1997/08/21  13:25:13  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.5
 *
 * Revision 4.1  1997/06/03  14:57:23  neelin
 * Really fixed dimension width name suffixes.
 *
 * Revision 4.0  1997/05/07  20:01:54  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.4
 *
 * Revision 3.4  1997/04/21  20:28:45  neelin
 * Changed width suffix from _width to -width.
 *
 * Revision 3.3  1996/04/11  19:31:43  neelin
 * Added -sequential and -interleaved options.
 *
 * Revision 3.2  1995/11/16  13:18:16  neelin
 * Added include of math.h to get declaration of strtod under SunOs
 *
 * Revision 3.1  1995/09/29  12:59:06  neelin
 * Fixed bug in handling of image-min/max when these variables are not
 * present in the input file.
 *
 * Revision 3.0  1995/05/15  19:32:40  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.3
 *
 * Revision 1.1  1995/05/11  12:35:53  neelin
 * Initial revision
