I think it makes sense to be able to overwrite the Fortran standard passed to
the library (f95, f2003, f2008, gnu, legacy). The reason is that we have
several cases where with -std=f95 GNU extensions are rejected. I think not all
users are aware of this and combining a compliant Fortran program with
libraries which are not can potentially cause problems. And if the source code
is not available ...
I therefore think it makes sense to:
a) Note the fact that -std= can change the library behaviour, esp. -std=f95 can
reject F2003 or GNU features.
b) Allow the user to overwrite it using an environment variable
