Our resident Windows expert is not here, so I'll try to help.  You'll
have to bear with me, however, as I don't deal with the Windows version
of the netCDF package.

I believe that the .mod files are created by the Fortran-90 compiler --
so you would have to compile the associated source files in order to
create them.

Is the Windows version of the netCDF package binary-only?
