merge 195509 301898
thanks

Just an update: because gfortran and g77 do not produce
symbol-compatible objects (according to mpich configure), mpich refuses
to use gfortran for Fortran 90/95.  And because g77-3.4 is still the
recommended compiler for Fortran 77 code, use of Fortran 90/95 is on
hold until gfortran is sufficiently stable to be used for both sets of
code.

At that point, the change in symbol naming may force us to go through a
nasty Fortran transition like the C++ transition, but not quite as nasty
because there's not quite as much Fortran as C++ in Debian.

Cheers,
Adam
