Thanks for the hints. However I took a rather simplistic route and just
compiled f2c from netlib. We're moving away from Fortran and so only have the
one "legacy.f" fortran file left, which f2c can cope with amiably. The libI77
and libF77 libraries I merged into one and tweaked a bit. To build them as a
dynamic library it seems that you need to change many of the global variables
to be definitions rather than just declarations.

Eg: "int l_eof;" becomes "int l_eof = 0;". (This is only needed for the global
variables. And only when building with -dynamiclib.)

I've also got itcl and itk to compile, so I'll be posting instructions to the
tcl newsgroup (I saw a query about this there). At present I haven't fixed the 
configure script though; my changes were out and out hackery :-)
