Does anyone out there know how to call _printf() from f77 and the hazards
involved with this?  The f77 compiler seems to both append *and* prepend
an underscore to external subroutine names, so printf becomes _printf_
rather than _printf.  This means that a -lc on the ld call won't get it
for you.  Anyone got a cure?
