Re: A radical suggestion for g95

I have a radical suggestion. What if we use the proper name (Fortran)
to cover our implementation of the latest version of the language? That is:
name of the driver: gfortran
name of the library: libgfortran.a or .so
name of the subdirectory: fortran
Fully agree.
Yes, gfortran is longer to type, but the compile step can be done with
gcc and most folks will use a Makefile anyway.
Oh, we probably have to support g95 and f95 as aliases for the compiler
anyway, to make it transparent for all those users coming in from rival
U*X implementations :-)
Now the interesting question is what the nickname for the Fortran 2000
compiler will be (f2000 ? f2k ? FMM ?).
