If one creates an executable using g95 on Windows, one needs a DLL to
be on the PATH of the machine where the executable is run. I'd guess,
but have not checked, that gfortran executables work the same way. I
don't think executables created by g77 or commercial compilers require
require a DLL in order to run on the target machine.

Would this DLL requirement would cause problems for production use of
g95 and gfortran? Is there a way to add a compiler option so that the
needed code from the DLL is automatically inserted in the executable,
which could then be run on any Windows machine?
