It does.
I have named the port f77-freebsd because everyone will recognize
``f77'' as a fortran compiler. However, the port allows one to
set F77NAME to whatever they want to call the wrapper. By default,
I have set ``F77NAME = fc'', so you'll get ${PREFIX}/bin/fc and
${PREFIX}/man/man1/fc.1.
Note, also, that f2c-freebsd is a port of f2c. ;-) It does not
depend on f77-freebsd. This means someone can install f2c (and
its support libraries) without worrying about how my wrapper works.
The f77-freebsd port, however, depends on f2c-freebsd and it
will install f2c-freebsd if ${PREFIX}/bin/f2c is not found.
PS: I saw you g77 commits, and thought it was time to send-pr the
ports. I did not contact you to commit the ports, because I
assume you've had enough Fortran Abuse(tm) to last a lifetime.
PPS: If you're ever in Seattle, stop by the University of Washington.
I'll treat you to lunch and beer.
