Using cpp with g77 is abusing cpp? I hope not! I can certainly use sed,
but I had hoped it would not be necessary in the future. BTW, suggesting
that people use c-style comments in Fortran code seems silly, and would
be difficult in my case even with sed.
As for nixing the change ... ok, I certainly don't know the details.
