No need for the suggestion... as you will see from the fortran PRs, I
am heavily committed just to get F95 support right, to stop
allocatable components from leaking memory and, yes, F2K support.  A
fortran frontend, written in fortran, will remain a temptation:)

On the F2K support, Janus, Sa and Daniel are doing a splendid job.
Due to their efforts are whispers away from finalization,
parameterized derived types and pointer components.  I have a
prototype patch for derived type extension running to the point it
parses but loses the parent components (some stupid error somewhere)
and several of us have been discussing the implementation of classes
and dynamic dispatch, off-list.   Unfortunately, we all have day-time
work and progress is regrettably slow.
