And if only the other language front-ends (excluding fortran) were
"supported" for Intel, that would probably still cause enough of a
headache for package management, if gfortran-4.1 were only available for
powerpc.  (I really mostly care about g++, but it's easy enough to build
and install by hand with odcctools with a wee bit of patching, at least on
powerpc.)  Anyhow, thanks for entertaining the discussion.
