[netCDF #OEW-145873]: failed tests for netcdf on MinGW

Dan,

I just noticed these instructions from paratool about how to build and
use netCDF-4.1.3 with MinGW

  http://www.paratools.com/Azure/NetCDF

If you use these successfully or adapt them to a 64-bit build, we'd like to know
about it.

Thanks!
