I use blas and lapack.  When I was learning F90/95, I rewrote
minpack in a free-form modern dialect.  I now typically write
my own routines, but if I'm in a hurry, I simply search netlib or 
Alan Miller's big pond repository for a particular routine.

Fortunately, Fortran is fairly portable, so not much is needed to
get the code to compile.
