library anyway (in the short-medium term)? Or put another way, is there
Fortran code out there we optimize poorly *because* of using DragonEgg? I
haven't used DragonEgg much, so if

Fortran has its own standard library and it's damn big. Also, the
Fortran grammar is not the simplest (or, rather - straightforward
one). So this certainly looks too big for GSoC.
Though, it
