I've run into this on my SGI machine and was informed that the -I option
supports only the #include format.  So although it is in the manual, it
doesn't seem to do us any good.  I gather it is a general Unix problem.

If anybody can come up with a scheme to implement the -I option in f77
with the standard indented form that Roque describes above, it would be
great!
