I did actually convert this version of f2c to use /usr/contrib (and
also replaced the unnecessary libF77 and libI77 source directories
by libf2c).  Unfortunately, while it worked fine with f2c followed by
cc to compile files, it couldn't even compile a working "hello world"
program with f77.  As I couldn't make any sense of the f77 source, I
gave up.
