Sjur,

It looks like I'm using netcdf-3.5.0, likely prebuilt binaries from unidata.
It includes a WIN32_README that starts:

netcdf-3.5.0 WIN32_README
04/03/2001 JCaron

If you wanted to replace it, presumably the C ABI would need to be
compatiable, and the dll name the same.  As far as I know we only
use the C, not C++ ABI.
