Can anyone suggest a syntax for INCLUDE for Fortran that does not make
your source code dependent on the host file system's filename syntax?

As in, what will 
	INCLUDE 'USR$LIBRARY:GOO.INC;32'
do when I try it on UNIX or VM?

Or what will
	INCLUDE '/usr/sierra/lamson/libs/math.constants.single'
do to a VMS system?

This seems to me to be one advantage to the MODULE syntax, although I
agree modules can't "include" all the things INCLUDE can.  Is this a
problem?  It seems to me to be something worth worrying about...
