Yea, right. I'd wish!  :-\

Right now we can't even generate code for all of F77.  And that is
supposed to be the *easy* part.  Nope, there is still a long way to go. 
We're getting closer to being able to generate code for the whole
language, but the code quality is not all that great.

And that is just the compiler side of things.  The library is another
issue that needs to be addressed, and while bits and pieces are in
place, it will still take a huge effort to finish it.
