man4 vs. docs

[nschloe]

The netCDF source directory contains the folder man4 which contains the HTML documenation. The folder name man4 is rather misleading, since it resembles the man4 as in /usr/share/man/man4/ where the documenation about "Devices and Special Files" (such as stuff in /dev/) is to be found.

A better folder name would be doc.

This is related to issue #57.

I agree. The reason for the current name
(man4) is historical when we were maintaining
two separate documentation directories:
one for netcdf 3 and one for netcdf 4.

Good enough for me. Fixed in (soon-to-be-pushed-out-to-github) commit 05aaa4b.
