A few quick questions about gfortran under cygwin

a) What's the latest binary version available? All I found was
GNU F95 version 4.1.0 20050320 -- I thought there should be something later.

b) I've seen mention of compiling it oneself, but no instructions on how
to do it. Are they available anywhere?

c) How do I stop it trying to reference the D: drive? I have a problem
with the DVD+RW on my laptop, in that it takes ages to do any directory
operation (about a 30 second time-out) and my first attempts at compiling
a programme took ages until I thought the problem through and popped open
the DVD drawer. Output of a compile follows, note the --prefix flag.
I tried over-riding that with my own flag, but that did not help.
