Toby,
   I suspect a careful review of the gfortran progress will show
that it only gained traction when programmers contracted to improve
it came on board. Expecting a 'grass-roots' fortran project to
viable is a bit unrealistic. Only if FSF gcc became unbuildable
on darwin might a company feel the need to expend funds on such
a project.
