Thanks for trip through include land ;-)

Well, it's dead code (about 3.5KB). I'm not sure I will have
f77, f2c, and libf2c removed by the 3.0.1 freeze because I need
to re-learn how to do a port. However, I have a few days off
over Xmas.
It certainly isn't a critical fix, so you can opt to close the PR
by noting a better solution is in the works.
