Thanks.  I'm attaching a patch to support installs of NCL (like Fedora's
packages) that specify NCARG_LIB in addition to NCARG_ROOT.

Also, for it to be successfully installed as a 64-bit system python package
(e.g. via rpm), the Ngl.pth file needs to be installed in the binary python
path (/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages) instead of the arch independent path
(/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages).  I think you want:

pkgs_pth       = get_python_lib(1)

Seems to build okay with NCL 6.1.2.
