[netCDF #IOW-928901]: Windows 64-bit prebuilt NetCDF dll

Sorry, we currently don't have any prebuilt netCDF Fortran libraries for
Windows.  The Fortran netCDF library depends on the C netCDF library, and
part of the Fortran library is written in C, so currently you have to have
a C compiler to build and install it.

We'll see if we can test the upcoming Fortran 4.2.1 version on Windows before
it's released, which may result in some prebuilt libraries, but that won't be
available for a while, probably at least a month or two.
