Libtool and its proposed FC support would profit from this as well.

Adjusting the respective --tag=F77/FC could break libtool-1.5.x in some
special situation, I guess.  Oh well, dunno if we should care.  Decent
Fortran 95 compiler support requires CVS Autoconf anyway (due to
platform-specific fixes)-
