  I think you're missing the point. People want to convert their
libraries to C while retaining the same API so as not to break
customer applications. The whole world is not going to convert to C
overnight, and if C can't easily interact with Fortran, then it
probably doesn't have a prayer of becoming widely accepted for
numerical computing.
