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

I have updated the F77 and F90 manuals as you suggest. Thanks for pointing this 
out.

OK, I have changed the configure script so that the -g and -O2 are no longer 
added automatically.

Also I have changed the configure script so that setting CPPFLAGS to "" does 
not break the selection of the appropriate fortran flag. (But this is not 
necessary for you to build without -g -O2).

The daily build on the ftp site only get's updated if the nightly tests work, 
and last night they did not. However I will rerun them today and get you a 
daily build to try out.

Thanks,

Ed
