No, if you leave compilers.choose blank, then it will set all the compilers.

If you need C++, then you forgot to mention it in compilers.choose
(missing 'cxx'). Also, "non-standard way to pre-process Fortran code"
... I didn't realize Fortran had a standard ;-P

But dragonegg does compiler Fortran? That's mostly why it existed.

MUMPS and SCOTCH code development can only be measured on geological
timescales.
