Hi: Since gcc4-4.1 is now in 10.4 and 10.4-transitional unstable, the
transition from g77 to gfortran can begin. AFAICT, there are 3 things
that need to be changed in most packages that depend on g77:
1) remove the 'Architecture: powerpc' field.
2) change 'BuildDepends: g77' to 'BuildDepends: gcc4 (>= 2:4.1.0-1)
3) add '--with-f77=gfortran' or equivalent to ConfigureParams.
In addition, if the package links fortran code to c++ code, you'll need
to make sure it uses g++-4.0. In the 10.4 tree this is done
automatically, but in 10.4-transitional I think this requires adding
SetCXX: g++-4.0
So far, I've only updated octave (and octave-forge) to use gfortran, but
I'll be slogging through my own packages one by one.

P.S. Corey - could you try out octave-forge to make sure I didn't botch
it up?
