[netcdfgroup] 4.1.2 release notes and configure --help (separate Fortran)

Hi all,
I think it would be helpful if the release notes were clarified and the configure help statement were updated to better describe the new behavior of creating separate Fortran libraries by default. 
The release notes mention the change to:

    "Build shared libraries by default, requiring separate Fortran
     library. Static libraries now built only with --disable-shared."
but do not note that a separate Fortran library is now the default for static only builds as well. 
The configure script help still lists --enable-separate-fortran as an 
option (noting that the option is enabled automatically with shared 
libraries).

Perhaps this option should either be replaced with 
--disable-separate-fortran (noting that it is only available for static 
only builds) or removed completely since it appears from discussions 
last week that including fortran libraries in the C library won't be 
allowed soon.
