[ncl-install] How to implement fully automated unattended building of NCL

[Mary Haley]

Jerry,

A few years ago, Carter Borst provided me with a build script he used to
build all the external packages NCL needs, and NCL itself, on various
systems. I've attached this script in case it can be helpful. (Build-NCL.sh)

I've also attached a shell script that I've used to build the external
packages that NCL depends on.  This one doesn't build NCL itself.  I have
separate scripts for this, as I tend to build NCL on a lot of different
systems that don't necessarily share the same disk space.
