Hi Allen, Ward
I have a request regarding your new CMake Windows build system, could you add
an option to make the build static regarding the Microsoft libraries
(MSVCR100D.dll) ?
Starting with version 4.3.1, NCO
http://nco.sourceforge.net/
uses the HDF5 and netCDF Windows libraries made with your CMake system, and
this is causing problems for NCO users, as explained here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nco/forums/forum/9830/topic/8345151
and here

This is just a matter of changing the compiler flag to /MT(d)

Using a dynamic build is just a bad idea, because of these DLL issues.
I have some Windows executables from code I did in the early 90's , that
unfortunately I cannot run today,
just because I linked them with DLLs, with the DLLs from the Visual Studio from
that time, that do not exist anymore (it seems every new version they change
the Visual Studio Dlls).
Because of this I do not use Dlls, I know that eventually something will go
wrong :-)
