   Each object gets an enum for each fortran implementable method in that 
object, names of the enums reflect the object and method name. The final enum 
for each object is the count of the number of the enums and is used in the 
AllocationFortranPointers.  Yes, some brain numbing work to set up initially 
but then pretty clean and extensible for the future (since the final enum is 
the count we don't have to worry about always fixing the count in the 
AllocateFunctionPointers() each time a new method is added).
