[netCDF #GZZ-630823]: Making NETCDF

It appears that HDF5 was built without zlib support; NetCDF-4 support requires 
HDF5 be compiled with zlib support. The trick will be to rebuild hdf5 and 
include this support.

Alternatively, cygwin offers pre-built hdf5 and netcdf packages, available for 
install via the Cygwin 'setup.exe' package manager.  We don't maintain these 
packages, but a quick glance shows me that they are up to date.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
