proposed fix for as problem

Since the broken assembler in the Dec2002 Dev Tools update seems only to
affect g77, I propose to implement this fix:

1) create an "as" package, which builds an assembler from opendarwin cvs
(that actually works with g77).  This is installed as %p/bin/odas.

2) update the g77 package to depend on as, and configure with
"--with-as=%p/bin/odas"

This seems better to me than adding patches that replace "STOP"
with "CALL EXIT" in all affected fortran codes. Comments?
