[netCDF #TDV-994339]: using the f90 module interface?

Yep. This is actually a long-standing netCDF distribution bug.

The problem was two-fold:
1 - Where do we install the mod files?

2 - Does the F90 compiler produce module filenames that are all uppercase. 
(Some do, some don't).

Well, I for one am tired of all this! So I have added a test in the autoconf 
script to determine what the .mod filename is like, and also added 
configuration settings so that they mod files will always be installed in the 
install header directory (/usr/local/include, by default).

What do you think? This will be in the next beta release - I'm testing it now.

You should not have had to create libnetcdff90.a...

Thanks to you for helping me get this sorted out!
