I like that it's based on Apple's GCC42 & thus doesn't have the potential issues we've been talking about when using different GCC versions; seems like it's worth considering for compatibility reasons as a variant on the various math ports that require fortran.

Definitely, I do however have one concern. I recall Atlas having
problems when built on newer hardware (i7) with anything less than
gcc44... I don't have access to one of these machine so am unable to
test.
