Actually I may have spoken too soon. This is actually a fair amount of work to do correctly. One has to take care to read in not only the mesh, but the solutions(s), scalar values and other metadata in the mesh. Some of this handled well in libMesh, some not so much. I might explore "hacking" the file with the netCDF API or Seacas tools directly. Hopefully an easy solution will present itself.
