> yes jordan, people still do use fortran...  please keep them...

You haven't answered my question at all.  I've no doubt that people
still use fortran, that was not my question.  My question was *how
precisely are these libraries used* by fortran programmers and, if
they're used, why aren't they in the standard build order?

If I can't find satisfactory answers to those questions then those
libraries are history, sorry.
