I'm no fortran guy, and I don't want to download it from Intel. If there's
no other committer with _real_ interest in it I may commit it if the
following happens:
- update your port
- portlint it
- tell us the URL to it
- try to convince some people to give it a try
- those people have to send me the output of
"uname -a; ls -laF /var/db/pkg"
I will visually inspect the port after this and if I don't find some
things I don't like I commit it.
Bye,
Alexander.
