[R-SIG-Mac]compiling fortran code of contributed packages using absoft f77 and lnk

[Andreas Papritz]

Thanks to the hints I got, I could easily solve the problem with 
Absoft's Fortran compiler f77.

The option -N15 tells the compiler to add trailing underscores to any 
function and subroutine names. The Fortran routines can then be 
called by R's .Fortran().
