It would be difficult to remove the ncvalues classes, but you can use
the current netCDF-3.5.1 beta release, which fixes the C++ problems
by conforming to recent C++ standards.  Just use the sources from:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-beta.tar.Z

and follow the instructions for building from source for Windows using
the Makefiles from 

  
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32makeVC6.ZIP

and the instructions from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/WIN32_README.TXT
