Ah ha.

But I believe that the only reason I am using both is that when I just
used FC, libtool ran AC_PROG_F77 on it's own. Perhaps I should retry
this.

I have no great desire to have both F77 and FC defined!

Usually the f77 compiler is just the f90 compiler anyway, sometimes
with extra flags.

Do we think this might work if I only had FC defined? I can try
that...

I'll give this a try and let you know how it goes, if I can't get rid
of F77 instead.

Hmmmm. Exactly what I would say about netCDF-4.0 beta!!

Actually I can't release until HDF5 (another data package) comes out
with its next version, sometime next year. How long until libtool 2.0
comes out in beta?

Thanks for the help, you've given me a lot to try!
