Starting with version 3.6.2, building separate Fortran libraries was
required for shared library builds.  In previous releases, the C and
Fortran functions were in the same static library.  In current releases,
when you enable shared libraries an additional library, libnetcdff (note
the extra "f"), contains the Fortran-77 and Fortran-90 functions.  This
extra Fortran library is built when either --enable-shared or
--enable-separate-fortran are specified as configure options.  Using
--enable-shared automatically turns on --enable-separate-fortran.

One reason you may want to use the --enable-separate-fortran option is
to support multiple netCDF Fortran libraries for different Fortran
compilers.
