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

Dan,

> I built the netcdf-fortran-4.2 package as instructed, disabling shared

Sorry, I thought your reference to "libnetcdf.mod" was really
referring to "netcdf.mod", the Fortran module file installed by the
Fortran build.  As far as I know, there is no "libnetcdf.mod"
installed by netCDF.  We have no such file on our platforms on which
we test and install daily.  The user who reported the missing
"libnetcdf.mod" file may have been confusing the library files
libnetcdf.a and libnetcdf.so*, installed in the lib/ directory,
with the netcdf.mod file, installed in the include/ directory.
