In the attempt to improve blacs, I've patched it to build shared
libraries in addition to the static ones it already generates.
With the code checked into CVS, I was able to successfully build a blacs
package with shared libraries on FC-3. It also uses those shared
libraries to build its test executables.
However, for FC-4 and devel, x86 and x86_64 cannot use the shared
libraries it generates to build its test executables.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is happening. The only
difference between FC-3 and FC-4/devel is that FC-3 uses g77 for the
fortran bits, and FC-4/devel uses gfortran.
