#9 quote problem in configure fortran macros bash 3.2

[Anonymous]

There's some bash 3.2-related problem that causes configure to fail occuring on machines at anl and snl this week.
gfortran + bash 3.2.x + ubuntu == crash configure
in the fortran checks.
ubuntu 7.x has bash 3.2 and an extremely underpowered
default nonbash shell.

export CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
./configure {with gfortran options}

this bug would be a fine opportunity to update
to the current babel fortran macros in the
chasm configure.

additionally, there's an if test with "x" == "$var" (syntactically...)
where == is not allowed in shell if statements. should be =. this crashes pickier shells.
it should not be easily confused with an occurence of == in a C feature test when repairing...
