Updated to gfortran 4.4.0 (May 2008)

This morning I was doing a little checking on the projects I keep loose tabs on, and one is the gfortran compiler for Mac OS X. I've chatted with Gaurav, the maintainer, a few times and it's really nice that he's taking the continued effort to keep updating this package. I'm guessing he's using it in his work at the university, but I could be wrong.

I did a make clean; make on shark to see if there were any issues with the compiler, and there weren't any. Ran fine. Thanks Gaurav.

The MacResearch.org guys have a package for installing that has this as well as an Xcode plugin for building gfortran code in Xcode, but I'm more of a vi/Vim and makefile user for FORTRAN coding. Just don't really need the extra stuff at this point. But it's nice to know it's there, if you need it.
