[patch, wwwdocs] onlinedocs: Update link names for "GNU Fortran"

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

the Fortran compiler is now called "GNU Fortran Compiler" it used to be
called "GNU Fortran 95 Compiler", but the "95" has been dropped since
4.2.0. Additionally, it was decided that "gfortran" is only used to
refer to the executable and not to the name  (which avoids the
capitalization problems).

This patch updates the names, which was suggested by Janne Blomqvist.
The names match what is displayed as title of each document.

OK for check in?

Tobias

Sure, go ahead!  (This is the kind of change you can just commit
without review, I'd claim. ;-)

I would argue the other way around.  Although GFortran *currently* is 
mostly a Fortran 95 compiler, that isn't it's ultimate frontier.  To me 
that frontier is to track recent Fortran Standardisation efforts (if at 
all possible) and hence refrain from putting a year designation into the 
name of our efforts.

Please discuss,

is it possible there is no actual disagreement? ;-)

My reading of Tobias' explanation and the patch itself is that he
only added "95" for those older branches where the documentation
itself actually uses that to bring the link in line with the actual
documentation it points towards, and that he did not use "95" for
the current development stream which does not use that any longer.

Ugh, sorry - I should have refrained from commenting, as Tobias' 
original mail didn't arrive at my system (probably timed out while I was 
at Ottawa).
