+Fix @code{g77} so it properly handles @samp{DATA A/@var{rpt}*@var{val}/},

The @samp{-ax} option is now obeyed when compiling Fortran programs.

+A substantial portion of the @code{g77} front end's code-generation component
+was rewritten.
+It now generates code using facilities more robustly supported
+by the @code{gcc} back end.
+One effect of this rewrite is that some codes no longer produce

+message.

Support for the @samp{-fugly} option has been removed.
