  Thanks for cleaning up my ports! I don't know how much interest
there is in these FORTRAN packages, but if there is the things on the
to-do list are:

1. i386/i486/pentium/p6 optimized BLAS functions.

2. Port of Lapack. This package replaces the linpack and eispack
   packages and is much more modern (and bigger). It was released
   sometime in 1991 - 1992 vs. ~1970 for linpack/eispack. This is
   also FORTRAN, but a C version is supposed to come.

3. More netlib packages (FORTRAN):
     fftpack (Fast Fourier Transforms (and fast DFT transforms) not
              limited to 2^n size arrays.
     minpack (Minimization/optimization package)

With these in and perhaps an f2c update an announcement in
sci.math.num-analysis could be done.
