I already have a port of f2c and a new f77 wrapper to deal with
f2c+gcc.  The includes the runtime libraries libI77 and libF77.

g77 has combined these libraries into is libg77.

If g77 were brought into the tree, I think we could delete
src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/f77, src/lib/{f2c, libI77, libF77}, and
src/usr.bin/f2c.
