I think some of the xlispstat guys have been using f2cl to add
numerical code to xlispstat.  On the other hand, I never really
understood this because it's pretty easy to compile Fortran,
dynamically link it in, and call it directly from the interpreter.
Maybe they're just using it for stuff which takes function arguments.
