Summary:                    Toolchain prefix not set correctly for Fortran
projects
Description: 
I have a project involving Fortran, C, and C++. I was writing a toolchain file
for MinGW so I could compile Windows binaries on my Linux box. I had the
following on the top of my CMakeLists.txt:

project(name Fortran C CXX)

In my toolchain file I sat the C, CXX and Fortran compiler, and root path. What
I then noticed was that instead of using the AR/RANLIB with the MinGW prefix, it
was using the default /usr/bin/[ar/ranlib].

This was solved simply by changing the order in the project line as described
above, to instead read:

project(name C CXX Fortran)

(not having Fortran first). See also mail exchange: 
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-July/051136.html
and attached two toolchain files in:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-July/051152.html

Please ask if something is unclear. I should also add that I do not know the
origin of the problem, so for what I know it does not need to be fortran
related.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Create a project with Fortran as the first enabled language
Create a toolchain file which should enable a prefix for additional tools
