README: minor tweak to specifically mention GNU Fortran
Lots of people still use GFortran, and lots of people still use somewhat old versions of it (e.g., if it's bundled in their older-but-still-installed Linux distros). So let's specifically mention it. This may be a bit overkill, but more specific docs are usually a Good Thing (i.e., they can prevent questions from being sent to the mailing list). Signed-off-by: Jeff Squyres <[email protected]>
