The IPXF routines are functions which return integers.  These are also
defined in the POSIX Standard.

Intel, as of their 10.0 release, has a very good implementation of PXF.
Besides the IFPOSIX module, which contains an obviously useful set of
interface blocks, the only real extension they have done is a PXFINT8GET
routine.  This allows, for example, one to extract the 'st_size' field
from a 'stat' structure - and support files longer than 2^31 bytes long.

IRIX (and Cray) implementations of PXF also have an F90 module with
interface blocks available.  On them, it is called PXF_DEFINITIONS.
