Andre,

Thanks a lot!  I actually realized last night that I was editing 
the file for BSD make but that the edit would have no effect on GNU 
make's behavior.  What I was really hoping to get is the location 
of the analagous file one can use to alter GNU make, but since you 
say it's hardwired, I guess that settles it.  What I'm trying to do 
doesn't seem possible, but as you said, I can just create a 
Makefile for my projects which define the correct pattern rules, 
etc., to correctly compile Fortran 90.  Thanks again!

Cheers,
Curtis
