Fortran compilers for Alpha Linux

[Heber Farnsworth]

There was some discussion of Fortran compilers for Alpha Linux on this list
a while back.  The DEC^H^H^H Compaq compilers are highly optimized for Alpha
and are now available free from Compaq for Linux to noncommercial users.

Since Octave can be compiled with any fortran compiler this should speed up
your Octave performance considerably if you use this compiler in place of
f77 or g77, etc.  Actually this compiler is a Fortran 95 compiler but it
compiles Fortran 77 code very nicely and produces very fast executables.
