   fortran interface stuff

     declare fortran character arguments as F_CHAR(arg)
     and at at the end for each character argument <arg> add
     int <arg>_len to the argument list

     Use macros STR_TO_C and STR_TO_F to convert from Fortran character strings
     to C character arrays and vice versa.

   sys_adr_len  (argument of accept and gethostbyadr, system dependent)
   
   sys_ctrl_init() (needed in VMS only)
