[netCDF #IQO-210917]: Fortran 90 manpages missing in netcdf 3.6.2 beta3

This is a known problem that has already be fixed for the next beta release. If 
this happens again, please let me know, because, as you note, it is a serious 
problem.

I am in the process of adding, for the next beta release, full automatic 
testing of make install, with a check of the installation platform which makes 
sure all the required files made it to the correct places.

I have added the following paragraph to the NetCDF Installation and Porting 
Guide:

"If GNU compilers are used, the configure script sets CPPFLAGS to ``-g
-O2''. If this is not desired, set CPPFLAGS to nothing, or to whatever
other value you wish to use, before running configure."

Thank *you* Remko, because these kinds of bugs would make my face red indeed 
were they to occur in a full release. Thus the beauty of beta releases!

But beta releases are only useful if some smart users try them and tell me 
what's broken!

Keep on netCDFing!
