Not with Intel compilers, but we have successfully built version 4.1.3 
under Cygwin with gcc using the environment settings shown under the 
Cygwin entry here:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/4_1_3/index.jsp

As you can see, that was configured with --disable-fortran, and the
output from the "configure" and "make check install" commands that's
supposed to be visible by clicking on the blue link in the right column 
of the table is currently not accessible.  I'll Cc: ed to see if he
can make it available.

At the bottom of this FAQ response:

   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4_1

there's a note about a contribution by Viet Eitner about a 4.1.1 build for
Windows built with Intel compilers, including Fortran.

Sorry, I don't know anything about Windows.  Maybe Ed will have a suggestion ...
