Bug #757
Don't match '-l' in '-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial' in FindNETCDF _netcdf_dashl regex

Description
The netcdf transition in Debian has started as part of the ongoing GCC 5 transitions in which netcdf was upgraded from 4.1.3 to 4.4.0-rc2.
The build of the gmt Debian package fails because the _netcdf_dashl regex in FindNETCDF incorrectly matches '-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial' as a linker flag.
The attached patch fixes the regex by requiring '-l' to be preceded a space or be the first character in the string.

- In the patch file there is this expression:
string (REGEX REPLACE "(^| )-l" "" _netcdf_lib "${_netcdf_dashl}")
In case the -l is preceded by a space, this will eat the space. I don't think that will hurt anybody, but I would like to point it out. - I think the same should be done with the "-L", i.e.
string (REGEX MATCHALL "(^| )-L[^ ]+" _netcdf_dashL ${NETCDF_CONFIG_LIBS}) string (REGEX REPLACE "(^| )-L" "" _netcdf_libpath "${_netcdf_dashL}")

That's why the REGEX REPLACE strips the preceding space too:
string (REGEX MATCHALL "(^| )-l[^ ]+" _netcdf_dashl ${NETCDF_CONFIG_LIBS})
string (REGEX REPLACE "(^| )-l" "" _netcdf_lib "${_netcdf_dashl}")
The resulting _netcdf_lib will be without spaces as expected:
netcdf;hdf5_hl;hdf5;pthread;z;dl;m;curl
Here's some debugging output of the variables in question without this patch:

- I think the same should be done with the "-L", i.e.
[...]
Applying the same change to the -I & -L regexes is a good idea, but not strictly required.
The include & libraries paths are much less likely to include "-I" or "-L" in their paths as is the case for "-l" in the Multi-Arch library path.
I've updated the patch to apply the change to the other regexes too.
