[netCDF #YVQ-214480]: Patch for Intel fortran on Mac OS

Yes, that's more helpful.  For the new split netcdf-fortran-4.2 release, 
I actually need to apply the patch to the m4/libtools.m4 in the fortran 
release sources in addition to (or maybe instead of) in the C release.

I'm currently having problems in the Fortran library linking step, but it
has nothing to do with the patch to libtool.m4.  libtool is called with a
link argument "-wl,-force_load" and gives the error message:

  /usr/bin/libtool: unknown option character `f' in: -force_load

I need to do a little Googling research on this, but in the meantime, I may
be able to test the modified configure for 4.1.3 and 4.1.2 in parallel
and make that available ...
