#426: Fortran module files should not go into scratch directory
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  eschnett  |       Owner:     
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new
 Priority:  minor     |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus    |     Version:     
 Keywords:            |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 The Cactus build system currently cds into the configuration's scratch
 directory before compiling any file, and accumulates all Fortran module
 (.mod) files there. This results in a very large directory, and does not
 separate thorns from each other. This also makes it difficult to delete
 all built files from a single thorn, which is often convenient for
 debugging.

 Instead, Fortran module files should be written into the thorn's object
 directory. Cactus should then set the Fortran include path correctly so
 that other thorns' module files are found, if this thorn declared the
 dependency onto the other thorns.
