I guess that isn't so inconceivable, is it? There is the f language and it could have a major revision. My Fortran story is that we have a code that is being converted from F77 to F90. It also wants to be Serial, OpenMP and MPI, with the user picking at compile time. We have been making do with imake and a half dozen config files for our favorite computers, but that leaves a lot of Makefile hacking for the user. We also have a homebrew makedepend. In other words, it's rather ugly, but it isn't going to get any better soon. The first priority is to get all the parallel versions running in parallel.
