We haven't yet released a netcdf-fortran that includes what's necessary to build
on Windows, except for cygwin.

Our plans are to try to get a netCDF-C version 4.3 release out in the next 
month 
or so that includes CMake configurations for building from source with Visual
Studio.

Shortly after that, if we encounter no unanticipated problems, we'll be 
releasing
a netcdf-fortran that also includes CMake build configurations, at least for 
ifort
(we don't have the resources to test and support multiple Fortran compilers on
Windows).
