 Yes, but compiled using f2py (I think) specifically for use in python. I
 am creating this port so that the library can be linked from fortran
 programs (and I suppose c/c++, but I haven't tested).

 >   1. I don't like the version handling. You hardcode it  many times in
 the portfile. Since it is not used directly, why not use version
 "19961126" instead of "19961126.16" and call "16" the minor_version or
 similar and then use those variables throughout the portfile?

 OK, I can do this. This is legacy code, and hence version numbers will
 only change if patches are necessary for compiling with modern compilers,
 but nonetheless I understand your request.

 >   1. Do we really need gcc43 and gcc44 variants? Would anyone actually
 use that in a new port?

 I can certainly remove gcc43 and gcc44 and add gcc48. I had copied these
 variants over from some other port.

 Thank you for your input.
