I agree: all the world is not Gfoo. But my argument is: when GNU C
was integrated in FreeBSD, a "gcc" command was added. Once the GNU
Fortran compiler has been also integrated, a "g77" command should be
added, too. This is ugly, but it's coherent with "gcc" and may avoid some
problems for some users. Anyway, I don't want to start a "g77 war" :-)
If nobody likes the idea, OK, I'll forget it. I hate Fortran, after all!
