I have tested the cmake build both under scientific linux 6 and OSX yosemite. In both cases 
the basic build runs. But when I tried to run the test it failed because the test program was 
configured for HDF4. This needs to be improved.

I then proceeded to try and build it with  HDF4. The build could not pick up HDF4. I have it in a 
non standard location and I tried to coerce cmake to locate it using two different paths:
* by CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
* by a CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH in CMakeLists.txt

Both failed such that I assume there is something wrong  with the HDF4 detection code.

Another suggestion: the CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH thing should be in the CMakeList.txt by 
default. Commented out and accompanied with a explanation: change this if your stuff 
lives elsewhere.

Regards,

     Mark
