Chris
Thanks for the suggestion
We added this feature. To build:
Get source and switch to release branch:
git clone https://github.com/pedro-vicente/netcdf-explorer.git
git checkout release
Build with:
./configure
make
The logic for this behaviour is:
1) Have a master branch with only the upstream files. 
Upstream files are files used to auto-generate other files. 
These are the files that we write and commit often,
so it's important to focus on them, for example to see the differences in the 
web interface of git.
2) The release branch has all the extra user-ready to compile files, generated 
by autoreconf.

  getting kind of off topic, but...
    Build with:
    autoreconf -vfi
    ./configure
    make
    For Mac:
    Mac does not include GNU Autoconf
  the usual convention is for teh developer to run autotools, and add the 
results to the source release, so end users can jump straight to:
  ./configure
  It's be great is you could do this for this project.
