Re: C/Fortran glue code

[Akim Demaille]

| Autoconf inserts this code into C program to allow linking against Fortran
| libraries:
| 
| #ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN
| #  ifdef __cplusplus
|      extern "C"
| #  endif
|    int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; }
| #endif
| 
| However, this isn't necessary if the user never called AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN.
| Therefore I suggest that this code be omitted in that case, so the
| configure script is shorter and config.log is easier to read.
| 
| I have found the following ChangeLog entry which appears to have had the
| same idea, but in fact it doesn't do what it says --
| _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS isn't used anywhere.

| 
|       The C-Fortran 77 hooks are available only once AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN
|       was run, while they are needed also when it is expanded.
|       Reported by Nicolas Joly.
| 
|       * aclang.m4 (AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN): Define _AC_LANG_PROGRAM_C_F77_HOOKS.
|       (AC_LANG_PROGRAM(C)): Use it instead of depending upon
|       AC_F77_DUMMY_MAIN being expanded.
| 
| Thus, I propose the attached patch.

Thanks, installed.
