Since there are two seemingly ok free f90 compilers is there any
reason for PETSc to continue
to support f77 or should we remove this support, for example change
VecGetArrayF90() to VecGetArray()
etc and combine the *.h and *.h90 files?
I think so.
Should we go further and move most of the header code (parmeters,
common blocks etc) into
Fortran modules and just put the few things in include files that
cannot go into modules like
#define PetscScalar real8
etc?
Seems reasonable also to me.
