[PATCH] install.texi: Correct mention of Fortran in "full distribution" desc.

- Subject: [PATCH] install.texi: Correct mention of Fortran in "full distribution" desc.
- Organization: Stanford University
In the "Downloading GCC" chapter of install.texi, there's a description
of what's included in the full distribution of GCC. The mention of both
a Fortran 77 compiler and a Fortran compiler here is somewhat misleading
-- there is no Fortran 77 compiler distinct from the main Fortran
compiler. This patch corrects this.
I'd be interested in opinions on whether or not I should add a
parenthetical note saying "(Fortran 77 in GCC 3.4 and earlier, Fortran
95 in GCC 4.0 and later)" after "Fortran" in the list, to cover the
changeover from g77 to gfortran. Comments?

* doc/install.texi (Downloading GCC): Clarify mention of
Fortran in the "full distribution" description.

Checked with "make info" and "make pdf". Ok for trunk?
