I've often used C as a fron end to Fortran to allow the use of command-line
arguments to the program call, and pass most or all of these options
(possibly parsed & manipulated by C) to my fortran routine. 

Is there a common way of getting command-line arguments / flags to fortran
in a more direct manner?
