I found it very labor intensive to maintain a mixed Fortran/C++ build system. I rather take the speed hit than dealing with the constant trickle of problems arising from non-existing or incompatible Fortran compilers. We distribute a pretty large system in source form to users (biologist) who sometimes don't even know what a command-line prompt is. If installation doesn't work out of the box a large fraction of our users simply give up. Ralf
