Fix Scilab-2.5's config script and send the patch to its author.
Alternately, send-pr an update to the math/Scilab port.

NO.  I will not apply this link.  BSD has always had a "f77" command.  It
has not always had a "g77" command.  The G77 developers should have
installed a "f77" compatability link.  It is their fault this misspelling
is perpitrating forward.  All the world is not Gfoo.
