Hi,

  Is there way to let ncWMS figure out the color scale range
automatically by reading the variables from files directly instead of
specifying one by one through "overrides" tag in wmsConfig.xml?

  I don't want to specify and override color range per-file and
per-variable basis manually [1] because I have too many variables in
too many files. I hope there is a way to either

  1)  harvest all color ranges in advance and cache them in wmsConfig.xml

   or

   2) calculate it on demand when GetMap request comes in by either
looking at valid_min/max attribute or calculating min/max from the
variable excluding _FillValue.

  Regards,
