Summary:                    Invalid PIC option being passed to the NAG Fortran
compiler
Description: 
When building a shared library from Fortran source, the invalid option "-fPIC"
is being passed to the NAG Fortran compiler.  The correct option is "-PIC".  The
compiler version is 5.3.1.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Here's a sample CMakeLists.txt file.  myfun.F90 is file with arbitrary Fortran
source.

project(dll)
enable_language(Fortran)
add_library(mylib SHARED myfun.F90)


Additional Information: 
Adding the line
  set(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC "-PIC")
to the end of Modules/Compiler/NAG-Fortran.cmake has the desired effect of
getting the proper option passed to the compiler, and everything apparently
works.  Whether this is the correct solution is another question.
