Universal netcdf-fortran

Salut !

Muniversal is a portgroup, that is to say it defines additional variables and procedures that every port member of the group undergo while being build. More specifically, muniversal causes ports to be split in two (or more) versions, e.g. i386 and x86_64, that are compiled separately and then gathered together using lipo during the "destroot" phase.

But unfortunately, in the case of netcdf-fortran, it does not work. I’ll see if we can use the wrappers I designed for py-numpy.

Bonne soirée, ciao !
