check for gfortran before checking for g77
While configuring apr-1.3.3, I realized that the configure script
checks for g77 and not for gfortran. The development of g77 has
stopped and is now replaced by gfortran. gfortran works well on both
Fortran 90, Fortran 77 programs. Would it be possible to add a check
for gfortran before checking for g77?
thanks

Probably not. Like I said, pretty much all of that stuff is
boilerplate checks that autoconf throws in when you use their default
"get me a C compiler" macro.

It also checks for g++. A cursory glance through the code tells me
that there are no .cpp, .cc programs. Is checking for g++ necessary?

Do we actually use gfotran, g77, or any other fortran compiler in any
way? I expect that check is just boilerplate autoconf stuff that we
never actually use.
