   If there's something in there that you do not understand, do   
   not hesitate to ask :-)

   That is OLD.  The oldest Fortran I ever had contact with was   
   of Fortran 66-vintage.

   They obsoleted the non-LLVM version? I hadn't heard that.

   Wise decision.

   Fingers crossed, that should not be a problem... anything that can   
   compile and link Firefox should be able to handle just about   
   anything.
