Is gcc40 the standard port to depend upon when one needs a fortran  
compiler? The reason for all the current py-scipy bugs on trac is  
that the port doesn't install a fortran compiler as a dependancy. I  
put up a patch for it, but told it to depend upon gcc41. Should that  
be changed to gcc40?

Thanks,
