 1. The configure script is not compatible with the rest of COIN's
 configure scripts.  As a consequence, on AIX, the COIN configure scripts
 will pick up the AIX compilers (xlC_r etc), while the CppAD configure
 script will pick up the GNU compilers by default.  This means that there
 will be a clash of name mangling, detected header files, and runtime
 libraries.

 2. Even if I specify the name of the compilers explicitly, I cannot change
 the Fortran compiler, since the CppAD configure script does not properly
 check for this.  As a consequence, the Ipopt example does not link since
 the Fortran name mangling is detected incorrectly (gfortran and xlf are
 different), and the CppAD also does not find the xlf runtime libraries.
