I took a stab at installing and running G95 with the existing Fortran 
solutions and found that they work pretty much flawlessly.

I've added them to the shootout (they are symlinks to the Intel Fortran 
solutions), and don't anticipate they will add much to my maintenance 
burden.

I am very glad to have some good comparisons between "industry" 
compilers such as Sun's JDK, Intel's C, C++, and Fortran, and the GNU 
versions.

Christophe, could you take a moment and advertise to the G95 people 
that we have incorporated their compiler into the shootout?  If they 
can provide any solutions, they will be beneficial to the Intel Fortran 
scores as well.

Thanks,

- -Brent
