Hi Orion,

Thanks, I committed your patches plus added --has-f03 to nf-config
options to indicate when the Fortran-2003 interoperability feature was
used to support the f90 API.  Without this, the --has-f90=no seems to
indicate that the F90 API is not supported, which is not he case when the
Fortran-2003 build was used.

As for the last issue you raised, I'm thinking it would be best to just have 
--flibs and delete --libs from the nf-config options to avoid the 
confusion.  However, I haven't done that yet ...

> A couple of related issues with nf-config and netcdf-fortran.pc:
> 
> - For static linking, netcdf-fortran.pc should provide:

> Libs.private: -L${libdir} -lnetcdff -lnetcdf
>

> netcdf-fortran.  On Fedora for example, all kinds of extra flags are
> added that end-users may or may not want.
