That's fine. I just want some simple example of wrapping a simple
fortran program, so that I can see this myself. I didn't manage to
figure this out by myself using the fwrap hg repository and I didn't
find any documentation. So I am waiting for Kurt's help. :)

The cmake file that I wrote is attached, and the usage is in the
comments at the top of the file. I don't query distutils.sysconfig.
But I tested it on linux, Mac and windows using cygwin (and espeically
mac has a way different way of compiling and linking stuff) and it
works.
