I haven't tried this but -- Iff one has a fortran compiler that uses compatible
linking protocols with one's "C" compiler, and one had a C++ compiler that
supports the 'extern "C" {declarations here};' construct, then one shouldn't
have much problems linking in fortran routines -- I would think.  The trick
would be just to pretend one's fortran routines are actually C routines.
If one's fortran isn't compatible with "C", then one would have to hope
one day one will have a compiler that actually supports 'extern "FORTRAN" 
{declarations here};'
