which needs some correction.  Actually we discovered we can't use
cygwin for this plan, both because of licensing issues (such a DLL
could not be used in commercial products like ESRI ArcGIS products),
and because it would requires an initialization that would make code 
that uses it different from programs that use netCDF on other 
platforms.

So our current plan is to create DLLs using mingw rather than cygwin,
which appears not to have thse problems ...
