I'm told that the freely-available "GCC 4" package from GNU can be built and
installed with support for compiling Fortran-90 code.  The relevant compiler
in that package is "gfortran".  The package is available at

    http://gcc.gnu.org/

If you install and use this package, then you should define the C macro 
"f2cFortran"
when building the UDUNITS package.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
