Hang on... What happens if someone doesn't have a fortran compiler |
| 10 |
installed, but installs one and then installs a fortran-using package |
| 11 |
all as part of the same group of packages? Then your pkg_pretend will |
| 12 |
fail incorrectly. |

Also, you appear to be assuming that environment variable saving |
| 15 |
carries over from pkg_pretend to later phases. It doesn't. |
