Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 For the record only, I got this information from an NCARG/NCL developer a
 while back:

   "The one library that I see that could potentially be an issue is HDF5
 1.10.x.  You cannot build or link NCL V6.4.0 against this version of HDF5.
 You must use HDF 1.8.x. All the other libraries look okay to me, but I
 have to admit that I haven't tried this exact pairing of everything, so
 there could be something I'm not aware of.  HDF5 1.10 just flat out
 shouldn't work with NCL640, so I'm a bit surprised to see that and not
 have heard from more people running into problems."

   "In NCL V6.5.0, you *can* link against HDF5 1.10.x."

 When this ticket #53031 was active (2016 Dec. to 2018 Aug.), MacPorts
 NCARG V6.4.0 was indeed building against HDF5 1.10.x.  Therefore I think
 it is likely that this version incompatibility was behind the
 `setfileoption` bug and other problems.
