This is something that can also be handled in fort77 itself. In the end,
the libf2c I'm using needs that -MD flag, so it make sense to add it
directly in fort77 script. For me it's the same, as long as it works...

I updated the CVS and tried to compile libcruft with my tuned fort77
and it seems to work OK.
