Howdy Marco,
The library ABI number went up because we changed the main API (by
adding the nc_inq_path function.)
We did not change the library version number to 4.3 because this was
such a minor addition.
In general, the ABI version has nothing to do with the version number of
the package.
Thanks,
Ed
PS - 4.1.3 will have correct DLL building for Fortran 77 and C++ APIs
under cygwin.
