Hi Jack,

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to respond earlier. There's nothing
front-end specific in this patch. It should work for gfortran as is. If you
want to provide fortran versions for some of the C outer-loop testcases (or
any other fortran testcases with potential for outer-loop vectorization) -
I'd be happy to try them out.

thanks,
dorit
