 *  * libsrc/hdf_convenience.c: removed spurious debug output
 *  * libsrc/minc.h: replaced MAX_NC_OPEN with 32
 *  * libsrc/voxel_loop.c: replaced MAX_NC_OPEN with MI_MAX_NUM_ICV
 *
 * Revision 6.13  2010-03-02 12:23:14  rotor
 *  * ported HDF calls to 1.8.x
 *  * Makefile.am: updated for minccmp
 *
 * Revision 6.12  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 *  * removed old (and outdated) BUGS file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 6.11  2008/01/13 09:38:54  stever
 * Avoid compiler warnings about functions and variables that are defined
 * but not used.  Remove some such functions and variables,
 * conditionalize some, and move static declarations out of header files
 * into C files.
 *
 * Revision 6.10  2008/01/13 04:30:28  stever
 * Add braces around static initializers.
 *
 * Revision 6.9  2008/01/12 19:08:14  stever
 * Add __attribute__ ((unused)) to all rcsid variables.
 *
 * Revision 6.8  2006/04/09 15:40:25  bert
 * Minor change
 *
 * Revision 6.7  2005/08/26 21:04:58  bert
 * Use #if rather than #ifdef with MINC2 symbol
 *
 * Revision 6.6  2004/11/01 22:23:14  bert
 * Get rid of minc_def.h, use standard MALLOC() macro
 *
 * Revision 6.5  2004/10/15 13:46:52  bert
 * Minor changes for Windows compatibility
 *
 * Revision 6.4  2004/04/27 15:43:29  bert
 * Support MINC 2.0 format
 *
 * Revision 6.3  2003/11/14 16:52:24  stever
 * More last-minute fixes.
 *
 * Revision 6.2  2003/09/18 16:49:46  bert
 * Use fabs instead of ABS
 *
 * Revision 6.1  2002/01/14 21:28:26  neelin
 * Moved nd_loop, voxel_loop, ParseArgv and time_stamp from ../progs/Proglib
 * in order to include them in the main minc library.
 *
 * Revision 6.9  2002/01/14 20:02:39  neelin
 * Force the input buffers to have a minimum size so that large images do
 * not force excessive reading of the input file.
 *
 * Revision 6.8  2001/11/28 18:39:16  neelin
 * Added get_info_vxoel_index to allow users to get the full multi-dimensional
 * file index of the current voxel.
 * Modifications to allow arg_string to be NULL.
 *
 * Revision 6.7  2001/09/18 15:32:27  neelin
 * Create image variable last to allow big images and to fix compatibility
 * problems with 2.3 and 3.x.
 *
 * Revision 6.6  2001/08/16 16:41:32  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 6.5  2001/08/16 13:32:27  neelin
 * Partial fix for valid_range of different type from image (problems
 * arising from double to float conversion/rounding). NOT COMPLETE.
 *
 * Revision 6.4  2001/04/24 13:38:40  neelin
 * Replaced NC_NAT with MI_ORIGINAL_TYPE.
 *
 * Revision 6.3  2001/04/17 18:40:15  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 6.2  2000/09/19 14:36:05  neelin
 * Added ability for caller to specify functions for allocating and freeing
 * voxel buffers used in loop. This is particularly useful for embedding
 * the voxel_loop code in other programs, such as Python, which manage memory
 * in their own way.
 *
 * Revision 6.1  1999/10/19 14:45:15  neelin
 * Fixed Log subsitutions for CVS
 *
 * Revision 6.0  1997/09/12 13:23:41  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.6
 *
 * Revision 5.0  1997/08/21  13:24:41  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.5
 *
 * Revision 4.2  1997/06/20  13:58:35  neelin
 * Fixed bug: when doing accumulation with no output file and with
 * 4D input (or more), had problem setting input start vector. This broke
 * mincconcat for 4D input files.
 *
 * Revision 4.1  1997/05/22  12:41:40  neelin
 * Loosened up checking of start coordinates so that we look at error
 * relative to the total extent of the volume (nelements*step) instead of
 * relative to start value (which may be close to zero).
 *
 * Revision 4.0  1997/05/07  20:00:50  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.4
 *
 * Revision 3.0  1995/05/15  19:31:35  neelin
 * Release of minc version 0.3
 *
 * Revision 1.6  1995/05/11  12:31:29  neelin
 * Removed error messages from ncattdel.
 *
 * Revision 1.5  1995/05/02  16:05:32  neelin
 * Fixed bug in handling more than 30 files (needed to detach from icv).
 * Added more checking of dimensions.
 * Fixed bug in allocation of space for global max/min.
 *
 * Revision 1.4  1995/05/01  20:04:50  neelin
 * Fixed memory leak - not freeing global_minimum/maximum.
 *
 * Revision 1.3  1995/03/21  15:33:07  neelin
 * Changed call to voxel_function to always use proper vector length and
 * set num_voxels to the number of voxels, not multiplying by vector length.
 *
 * Revision 1.2  1995/03/21  14:06:39  neelin
 * Improved interface and added lots of functionality (much for the benefit
 * of mincconcat).
 *
 * Revision 1.1  94/12/14  10:17:19  neelin
 * Initial revision
