One that may or may not be important: you can use other compilers to  
generate libraries that are "gnu compatible", or link to the same,  
with appropriate switches. Extra underscores may bust that.

I do as Mark has done and have turned off second underscores in g95  
by default. In my regular compiles and my netCDF library compiles.
