In this case, however, xlf isn't an f77 port.  If we "did it ourselves",
and f77 programs didn't port, we would be screamed at for having a
broken f77.  As I see it, the problem with the present situation is the
fact we don't have a true f77 (I hope we'll get one).

I am not an official IBM spokesman.
