[ANN] FoX - an XML toolkit for Fortran

I'd like to present FoX; a standards-compliant XML toolkit written
purely in Fortran 95.

With the public release of version 4.0, FoX now supports the whole of
XML 1.0 as a
fully validating parser, tested against the W3C XML testsuite.

FoX also understands all of XML Namespaces, xml:id and xml:base.

It provides both input and output APIs

* the output API is a streaming writer which guarantees the well-
formedness of all XML output.
* the input API provides both a SAX-like interface, offering all the
features of SAX version 2,
and a full W3C-compliant DOM (tested against the W3C DOM testsuite),
covering all of Core
Levels 1, 2, and most of 3.

FoX is completely written in Fortran, avoiding any issues with cross-
language compatibility,
and is extensively tested across multiple compilers.

In contradiction to http://uszla.me.uk/space/software/FoX/compat/, the
Intel 10.1 compiler on x86_64 (I tried 10.1.008 as well as 10.1.013) fails
to build the package.

The first error is

ifort -c -g -fpp -I../objs/finclude -DFC_HAVE_FLUSH -DFC_HAVE_ABORT -DFC_ABORT_ARG -DFC_EOR_LF -DRESTRICTED_ASSOCIATED_BUG
m_common_attrs.F90
fortcom: Error: m_common_attrs.F90, line 284: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit type. [GET_KEY_INDEX]
character(len=size(dict%list(get_key_ind
ex(dict,key))%d%value)) :: value

My (tentative) opinion is that there is indeed a bug in ifort.
