egcs-g77 doesn't provide /usr/bin/g77. This is because egcs is only provided to
compile a few packages written in C or C++ that've problems with gcc-2.95.
Nobody should use it. gcc is the right compiler to use.
Fortran support is only accessible through 'egcs -x f77'.
if egcs-g77 is installed, egcs should recognize *.f as a fortran source file
and use the right frontend.
Anyway, the previous perl-module has only to requires g77.
