I think there is probably a sanctioned manner for getting the Exodus
Fortran bindings compiled along with Exodus itself.
Our first attempt, which was just copying exo_jack.c over from the forbind
directory, is just not the right approach.
Somebody here just needs to read through the Exodus docs and figure out the
right way to build Exodus with Fortran bindings, and possibly update the
libmesh build system.
