Description:
HDF4, even tough outdated, is still used for many research data products, there is currently no official hdf4 package but there is a hdf4 in AUR.
Given that netcdf is a dependency of python-netcdf4, it would be nice to include HDF4 support, otherwise the options are to use pyhdf with its faults or convert to hdf5 and hope there is no loss of information

Additional info:
HDF4 from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdf4/) already disables netcdf so there is no conflict with netcdf-c

The additional compiler options are simple:
-DENABLE_HDF4=ON
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/hdf4

Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon
