[netCDF #DKO-663345]: libnetcdf.mod not built with NetCDF 4.2

Hi Dan,

The netcdf.mod file is only needed to use the netCDF Fortran-90 API, which is 
part of the 
separate netcdf-fortran-4.2 software release, available from:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-fortran/

The netCDF Fortran release was separated from the netCDF-C release with version 
4.2,
as explained here:

The Fortran release is pretty easy to build once the C library is installed, as 
explained here:
