Extremely.  Folk doing serious Fortran development routinely  
experiment with multiple compilers, and would not appreciated being  
limited in any way here.

As well, Fortran vendors tend to put their efforts into improving the  
optimisers, and seem to be careless about supporting conventional  
option sets.  This means that automake/autoconf are probably even  
more valuable to Fortran developers than to others, though I get the  
impression rather few currently use automake/autoconf, though that's  
partly because they currently support Fortran rather poorly.

All the best,

Norman
