Currently, NCL does not support the reading of ESRI (or any other
GIS) shapefile.

The NCL Development Team is considering integrating the Geospatial
Data Abstraction Library (GDAL http://www.gdal.org) into NCL to read
shapefiles and other georeferenced data.

We'd appreciate hearing what users think about this approach, and if
there are other possibilities that we might not be considering.

-Rick.
