Fix? Cannot find NCARG_CONFIG on full builds.

In regards to the post http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ncarg-talk/2005/0017.html
from two years ago. May I suggest that this be added to the README or
INSTALL file ? Or at least in the main web page. I spent two days
fighting this. The whole problem was that I had the sources in a
directory tree that included a directory named "ncarg"

    If it helps, I got past the "Unable to find NCARG_CONFIG ..." error
by either forcing "@ useinstalled = 0" in config/ymkmf:142 or by
commenting config/ymkmf:121 (set topdir = ../"$topdir") . But I still
had problems because the compiler couldn't find the include files in the
paths given (-I../../../.././include -I/usr/include)

Hi Felix,

This is a known (weird) bug that we hope to fix soon. If the NCAR
Graphics source tree is under a directory (it doesn't matter how many
levels up) called "ncarg", you will see this problem. So, you need to
rename the "ncarg" part of your directory to something else, like
"graphics", so you end up with "/usr/local/graphics/ncarg-4.4.1".

Let me know if this doesn't fix it for you.
