Ah, very familiar to me too!

I like this a lot - OK, so what would we have in each of the packages then?

My main aches have been with having the correct FORTRAN compiler on
whatever system I'm using - be it f77, g77, or some other flavour. If
you drop modules that require FORTRAN from the Core package, I'd
suspect that it would be a simple install.

Core:
 - no graphics
NiceSlice
Slatec (but requires FORTRAN!)
 - any modules that do not require external libraries.

Astro:
 - As above, but with:
FITS
HDF
Slatec (but should this be in Core?)
PGPLOT or PLplot

Ultimate:
- As many modules that will build and test successfully on your system.

Probably much better ways to do it than this though.....
