[CMake] Fortan and C++

[Dominik Szczerba]

Michael,
Many thanks for the feedback.
What I am doing with a GNU makefile so far is compile just one file with 
the fortran compiler use C++ linker to link all object files as usual.
A comprehensive solution I would expect in cmake would be 1) nothing 
(.f90 file is understood) or something along the lines of setting the 
file properties (sort of 'to be compiler with' flag)...
