For the first, chalk this up to my own inexperience with fortran.  Is this
going to be common enough to justify a USE flag?  Would it be better to just
enable it by default when gfortran is not being used given that is slows
compilation down significantly?

In the case of the latter, that is the default when no options are passed.

There are no ebuilds for the above packages.  I submitted them at the same
time I commented on the openmpi bug, but no longer have access to that
hardware.  If someone does and would be willing to work with me on finishing
up those ebuilds, please contact me.
