Should the gcom4 package also support versions 4.6 to 4.8 and gcc? #85

Currently the gcom4 package build at version 4.5 does not support building with gcc. Looking at the Share directory in the dev branch of the GCOM source repository, one sees:

[pcl851@gadi-login-02 Share]$ ls -d *_access_config
gcom4.5_access_config  gcom4.6_access_config  gcom4.7_access_config  gcom4.8_access_config
[pcl851@gadi-login-02 Share]$ ls *_access_config/fcm-make/machines/nci_gfortran*
gcom4.7_access_config/fcm-make/machines/nci_gfortran_openmpi.cfg  gcom4.8_access_config/fcm-make/machines/nci_gfortran_openmpi.cfg

So versions 4.7 and 4.8 support the gcc Fortran compiler, but versions 4.5 and 4.6 do not.

So, should the gcom4 package also support versions 4.6 to 4.8, and should support for gcc be added in the case of versions 4.7 and 4.8?
