Both of these are Unix .

Why the need for a Pkg-Config dependency on a CMake builld ?
Pkg-Config is available for Windows as well; it was initially carried over as
part of the conversion from autotools based builds. The failure to find
pkg-config.exe on Windows is not a fatal error; the build should continue.  I
believe the original idea was to have the cmake-based build use pkg-config
(when available) to generate the appropriate files to make netcdf more visible
to other projects via pkg-config.  This is likely unnecessary; I will evaluate
if we still need it, and what it would take to complete that functionality.

If you do end up using pkg-config, instead of:

INCLUDE (${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake)

do:

FIND_PACKAGE(PkgConfig QUIET)

This will make it silent in the case of not finding it. But it doesn't look like you make use of it at the moment.
