I seem to remember that gcc 4.0.x used to work with g77 (from 3.4.6);
moreover gfortran from 4.0.x would not even compile some of the octave
files... I do not see issues with using configure to check for f95,
though it does look as a dirty hack.
I have an alternative suggestion, for far more distant future though --
may be for the 3.2.x: could we get away with fortran all together?
