Portland Fortran compiler changing executable name

[Jeff Squyres]

Greetings!

One of my PGI contacts (Brent Leback, CC'ed) tells me that the PGI  
compiler suite is transitioning the executable name of their Fortran  
compilers.  Currently, they are "pgf77", "pgf90", and "pgf95".  They  
are in the process of moving to the new name, "pgfortran", which  
contains Fortran 2003 elements and other fun toys (...insert mandatory  
marketing here... ;-) ).

Could Libtool be adjusted now to look for the "pgfortran" name first  
for all Fortran variants, and if not found, fall back to the old  
names?  That would seem to give flexibility for the future.
