There is also still mkf90.py, which Andy Vaught wrote long ago to
bulk-compile millions of lines of Fortran to test the g95 parser
(we're talking 2000, 2001 here).  Someone with a sufficient amount
of python-fu could turn that script into a Makefile dependencies
generator.

You should be able to find mkf90.py with Google.  I haven't tried
but it used to be pretty easy for Google to find some copies of it.
