Description:  Some GIPSY sources do not compile with the default
              compiler options, usually because of compiler bugs.
              The file options, which should reside in $gip_loc,
              contains the options which will be used by `compile'.
              Each `special' source has a one line entry in the
              $gip_loc/options file, and each entry constists of
              6 fields, separated by colons (Each entry (line) may
              be spread over more than one line by putting a backslash
              before each newline).
              The fields have the following meaning:

              Field   Meaning
              #1      architecure.
              #2      name of (compilable) source file. If the
                      it is a compilable generated from the source
                      file, the source file should be followed by
                      the name of the generated compilable between
                      brackets (). I.e. if the source is a sheltran
                      source, then the generated compilable is a
                      fortran source.
                      Example:     prut.shl(prut.f)
                                   troep.src(rommel.c)
              #3      Name of the compiler to use. If this field is
                      empty, the compiler from $gip_loc/setup will be
                      used.
              #4      Compiler options for installing. If this field
                      is empty, the options from $gip_loc/setup will
                      be used.
              #5      Compiler options for private use.  If this field
                      is empty, the options from $gip_loc/setup will
                      be used.
              #6      Libraries and loader options. If this field
                      is empty, the libraries and options from
                      $gip_loc/setup will be used.
