Feature Request: Support for Additional Compilers

Description

The current makefile supports several specific compilers (gfortran, ifort, mingw_static, mpi_gcc, mpi_intel). However, it might be beneficial to augment the build process to include support for additional compilers such as LLVM's Flang or other widely used Fortran compilers. This would increase the accessibility of the project for users who prefer or require different build environments.

Proposed Changes

1. Add support for Flang by including a target like make flang.
2. Update the README documentation to reflect additional compiler options.
3. Ensure that any necessary flags and configurations specific to the new compilers are included to maintain compatibility with the existing project workflows.

Benefits

• Expands user base by accommodating more compiler options.
• Aligns with community practices of using diverse and modern compilers for Fortran.
