Personally I don't mind either way, however keep this in mind: Most linux systems are so package based anyway that "Linux can compile their Fortran programs and FreeBSD cannot" is equivalent to "you can't read the install documentation" . Hell, I'd be happy to have each type of compiler a tarball and install option there under 'compilers', with C/C++ standard. Then people really can't complain 'ahh but its a package, one package amongst too many..'
