I take it that the Fortran compiler chokes on the "#include udunits.inc"
because the includee is Fortran-77 and the includer is Fortran-90.

I suggest that you NOT include "udunits.inc" and, instead, manually
declare an appropriate type for the utcaltime() routine (and any other
UDUNITS routines that you use).
