Thanks, I'll do that.
We've used this feature in the past to get people to check if they had
an installation problem (a common one was to pick up a libf2c built by
the f2c distribution - note that until recently, most Linux
distributions came with f2c and _not_ g77). It might be that this isn't
necessary anymore.
But as long as it doesn't break or inhibit anything else, I'd like to
keep it.
