The file ncgenl.c is #include'd in ncgeny.c.

However, it looks like visual studio is trying to compile
ncgenl.c on its own, which of course will fail.
So I changed the name to ncgenl.h so it would not
be compiled. This appears to fix the bison/flex problems in
#366.

What I still do not understand is why hdf4 is involved.

p.s. Visual Studio is really tenacious about its caches.
I had a devil of a time getting it to recognize my changes.
