[Patch, trunk, committed] Document new g77/libf2c features.


L.S.,

I documented the new ability of g77 to use array elements as bounds of
adjustable arrays and the building of libf2c as a shared library as
follows:

+ Based on work done by Juergen Pfeifer
(@email{juergen.pfeifer@@gmx.net})
+ libf2c is now a shared library.  One can still link in all objects
with
+ the program by specifying the @code{-static} option.

+ @item
+ Robert Anderson (@email{rwa@@alumni.princeton.edu}) thought up a two
+ line change that enables g77 to compile such code as:
+ @smallexample
+ SUBROUTINE SUB(A, N)
+ DIMENSION N(2)
+ DIMENSION A(N(1),N(2))
+ A(1,1) = 1.
+ END
+ @end smallexample
+ Note the use of array elements in the bounds of the adjustable array
A.
