Hi all:

Well, the netcdf-Java library will unpack coordinate variables, so any
applications built with it will also.

If one already knows how to unpack data variables, its not any harder to
unpack coordinate variables.

I guess the question is: what are the CF-aware analysis software that we
know of?
