   Unless the goal is to continue maintenance of the code in C.   
      
   A plausible scenario is that you have a body of code in Fortran that you   
   want to continue maintaining, but it's easier to find C programmers than   
   Fortran programmers.  (I don't know whether that's the case here.)
