-Use MinGW gfortran from VS if a fortran compiler is not found.
+Add a fortran-only subdirectory, find a fortran compiler, and build.

+The ``cmake_add_fortran_subdirectory`` function adds a subdirectory
+to a project that contains a fortran-only subproject. 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 CMAKE_GNUtoMS option is set to on, so that the MS .lib
-files are created. Usage is as follows:
