[Jed suggested we should 'always use FC as linker' and not do any such detection. But then we still have to worry about C++. Previously we had machines where we had to use C++ linker - but perhaps such machines don't exist anymore]

We might only need to distinguish -lstdc++ and -lc++. It's certainly simpler and more consistent than finding Fortran run-time libraries.

And then the MPI c++ libraries.. Satish
