Mismatch in explicit fortran interface for MatGetInfo

[Barry Smith]

   Stephan,

     Those are ones for which our automatic tools do not work for  
(mostly because they have character strings in the arguments and our  
tools cannot handle the translation from Fortran to C automatically).   
So we are in the position of
1) having better tools that can handle these cases or
2) making the interfaces manually.
Neither path is desirable to us :-(
