[netCDF #HDM-263372]: netcdf-4.0.1 intalling issue

Sorry but we have not seen this problem before and can't reproduce it
here.  The latest information on building netCDF-4 for Windows is
here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4

We will be releasing netCDF-4.1 soon, and you may have more luck with
that, or with the current release candidate availlable from:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.1-rc1.tar.gz

We don't control what's distributed withhave the resources to maintain
a cygwin package for netCDF, but we test the current source
distribution in a recent cygwin development environment to make sure
it compiles and passes all the test.

I hope this helps ...
