Actually, there are certainly very valid reason for using f2c, and
is essential in at least one particular one -- automatic single to
double precision promotion via -r8 flag (g77 is one of the very
few compilers that do not support it, and lots of legacy code
depend on this being available). There are ways to do this via
various regexp tricks, but just not worth the risk.
