Unfortunately, no.  You're looking at a merging of different
novice contributions to gfortran.  I wrote some of the g77
intrinsics to cut my teeth, and then FX wrote several more g77
intrinsics as his intrduction to gfortran.  Others contributed
intrinsics in the dark ages when gfortran only worried about
integer(4) and (8).

A nice newbie (or Google SOC) project would be to audit 
the implementation details of libgfortran.  I wonder if
we have any fortran@ lurkers looking for something to do.
