[netCDF #FRF-546153]: mac OS 10.6.1 build failure

Right, since the configure script generates the Makefiles and the configure
script didn't complete successfully, there are no Makefile to tell how to
make the "distclean" target. But it's weird that some old object files like
conftest.o would exist when the old Makefiles associated with them weren't
there.

The associated errror message in config.log says:

  configure:23746: gfortran -c O3 conftest.f
  i686-apple-darwin8-gfortran-4.2: O3: No such file or directory
  configure:23749: $? = 1
  configure:23766: error: Could not compile conftest.f

which makes it look like just a typo, using "O3" for the compile flags
instead of "-O3".  So it may still work if you add the "-" option
prefix.

You may be entering new territory.  We haven't heard reports yet about
success with a Fortran application using the netCDF library on Snow
Leopard, so I'll be interested to know if you get it to work.
