+# - Use MinGW gfortran from VS if a fortran compiler is not found.
+# The 'add_fortran_subdirectory' function adds a subdirectory
+# to a project that contains a fortran only sub-project. The module
+# will check the current compiler and see if it can support fortran.
+# If no fortran compiler is found and the compiler is MSVC, then
+# this module will find the MinGW gfortran.  It will then use
+# an external project to build with the MinGW tools.  It will also
+# create imported targets for the libraries created.  This will only
+# work if the fortran code is built into a dll, so BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
+# is turned on in the project.  In addition the GNUtoMS option is set
+# to on, so that the MS .lib files are created.
+# Usage is as follows:
+# cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory(
+#   <subdir>                 # name of subdirectory
+#    PROJECT <project_name>  # project name in sbudir toplevel CMakeLists.txt
+#  ARCHIVE_DIR <dir>         # .lib location relative to root binary tree (lib)
+#  RUNTIME_DIR <dir>         # .dll location relative to root binary tree (bin)
+#  LIBRARIES lib2 lib2    # names of libraries created and exported
+#  LINK_LIBRARIES            # link interface libraries for LIBRARIES
+#   LINK_LIBS <lib1>  <dep1> <dep2> ... <depN>
+#   LINK_LIBS <lib2> <dep1> <dep2> ... <depN>
+#  CMAKE_COMMAND_LINE        # extra command line flags to pass to cmake
+#   )
