I would like to add support for compiling fortran with boost.build. You
once suggested that I could extend the existing gcc.jam etc but I wonder
if it would not be better to add an (orthogonal) set of <tool>.jam in
boost/tools/build/v2/tools for the fortran compilers. Than the user in
his user-config.jam can do
using intel-linux ;
using gfortran ;
and thus the user is not forced to use the C and fortran compiler from
the same tool-family. Also this way adding fortran will have no affect
at all on the current <tool>.jam's.
