how widespread is this cpp bug?

[Gerlach van Beinum]

	One way we use this 'bug' is in Fortran callable C-programs.

	Most Fortran implementations in unix make external names

	of subroutines and functions by adding an '_' at the end.

	So if you want to write a Fortran callable subroutine foo

	you have to call it foo_(). You can use the bug in the

	following way :

	#define F77_TRAILER	_

	foo/**/F77_TRAILER()
	{
	....
	....
	}

	By changing the define F77_TRAILER you can remove the

	trailer from all the names
