Hang on... What happens if someone doesn't have a fortran compiler installed, but installs one and then installs a fortran-using package all as part of the same group of packages? Then your pkg_pretend will fail incorrectly. Also, you appear to be assuming that environment variable saving carries over from pkg_pretend to later phases. It doesn't. -- Ciaran McCreesh
