Hmm.. 

While I agree in principle that having code from more than 1 lang can be a 
pain to manage, I do like the approach used in R where numerous langs are 
supported. 

Since I cannot do the re-write, and the functionality seems worth the effort I 
would vote 0 . 

Getting someone familiar with what the Fortran code is actually doing would be 
important if we considered re-writing it...
