BTW, Fortran support is greatly improved in CMake's development version.
If you can try the latest version from CVS HEAD, please do so.

CMake is not assuming anything.  It actually compiles a test source
file with the ".F" extension so that the preprocessor runs.  The source
uses preprocessor definitions to detect the compiler identification.
I think the compiler is defining __GNUC__.  This brings us back to
my question: does the compiler identify itself with any documented
preprocessor symbol?

Many Fortran compiler vendors provide tools called 'f90' and 'f95'.

What is the actual link line that is failing?  You can see it
by running "make VERBOSE=1".
