If you grab
netcdf3.3Win32DLL.zip
from the contrib directory, that includes
the fortran interface (built with DVF5.0).

You don't want to get netcdf-3.3a_fortran.
It was stepping stone which we should probably
delete.

I don't know if this will work with the older compiler.
I would hope that it would..
