Well, gfortran was included for some targets only.  Having to include
gfortran (and support libraries) for all supported targets would
definitely and unnecessarily bloat Sage.

If they are necessary for Sage to build, the sooner Sage dies the better.

>2) There is some reasonably simple way of checking for them,

server% perl -e 'eval "use strict;1;" ? print "Yes\n" : print "No\n";'
Yes
server% perl -e 'eval "use Foo:Bar;1;" ? print "Yes\n" : print "No\n";'
No
server% if perl -e 'exit eval "use Foo::Bar;1";' ; then echo Not Found ;else 
echo Found;fi       
Not Found
server% if perl -e 'exit eval "use strict;1";' ; then echo Not Found ;else echo 
Found;fi   
Found
server%
