35 Iirc you had problems with -fortran, because you have packages that really
36 need fortran. My suggestion was for people like Peter, who have no problems
37 without fortran. It shows only packages which could perform better, if a
38 fortran compiler is available and otherwise fallback to a C implementation. At
39 least, I think it does :)
