+# Temporary additional general language support is contained within this
+# file.  
+
+# This additional function definition is needed to provide a workaround for
+# CMake bug 9220.
+
+# On debian testing (cmake 2.6.2), I get return code zero when calling 
+# cmake the first time, but cmake crashes when running a second time
+# as follows:
+#
+#  -- The Fortran compiler identification is unknown
+#  CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/CMakeFortranInformation.cmake:7 (GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT):
+#    get_filename_component called with incorrect number of arguments
+#  Call Stack (most recent call first):
+#    CMakeLists.txt:3 (enable_language)
+#
+# My workaround is to invoke cmake twice.  If both return codes are zero, 
+# it is safe to invoke ENABLE_LANGUAGE(Fortran OPTIONAL)
