First why 4.x? :)  unidata still distribute 3.6.x and I think they
will for a while yet. As it is the 4.x version is not in debian that I
can see. :(

Anyhow I would prefer something like this:

/* hack to get around netcdf 3.x -> 4x. */
#ifndef MAX_NC_OPEN
#define MI_MAX_NUM_ICV 32
#else
#define MI_MAX_NUM_ICV MAX_NC_OPEN
#endif.

Can you test this please?  if it works fine I can commit this to CVS.
