Patch for Portland compiler support

[Jeff Squyres]

Greetings.

As I've posted to the list before, we use libtool in some fairly large 
software packages.  Thanks for all the excellent work on libtool!

Some of the consumers of our software use the Portland Group compilers 
(http://www.pgroup.com/).  Libtool 1.5.x doesn't seem to recognize 
these compilers, and therefore doesn't always do the Right Things.

I have *barely* dived into the libtool source, but I have come up with 
a patch for the current CVS branch-1-5 that seems to make libtool do 
the Right Things for pgcc on Linux (I didn't try for an analogue on the 
CVS trunk for the 2.x series).  Could this patch be considered for 
future releases of Libtool?

Please forgive me if this patch is egregiously wrong -- if it is, any 
advice on making it Right would be tremendously appreciated!

Many thanks for your time.
