Yes, Fortran can use these shared libraries.  In fact the run-time
testing I suggested (and just completed for git master) does exactly
that with our standard Fortran 95 examples (for the gfortran/gcc case,
see further comments about the PG case below).

The VERBOSE=1 make option outputs every flag used in compilation for
CMake-generated Makefiles such as these based on internal knowlege
CMake has about what is required for the PG compilers you are using.
So look up the relevant part of compiling the Fortran 95 examples in
the run-time test *.out files (assuming those run-time tests work),
and that tells you all the flags you need to use.  Alternative more
sophisticated ways to get the compile and link flags you need for your
applications in the PG case can be determined from "make install"
results which along with everything else installs both a simple
CMake-based build system for the installed examples as well as a more
traditional (Makefile + pkg-config) build system for those installed
examples.

Big caveat.  Whatever method you use to obtain the necessary compile
and link flags for your applications, you might find an issue for the
PG compilers since as far as I know you are the first in a long time
to try those compilers for the PLplot case.  But we will attempt to
fix such bugs so long as you continue to give us details about
any issues you find.
