 be) installed; in that case I'd just set it to `gfortran` as well, since
 `$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/` comes first in the path anyway.

 `sage_fortran` script is created.

 At least in the long run, we should get rid of the `sage_fortran` script
 as well.

 If a package sees `FC` being set, it'll (hopefully) use that.  If it's
 unset, it'll try to guess the Fortran compiler, which might yield (Sage's)
 `gfortran`, but also some other Fortran compiler which happens to be
 installed on the system.  (Explicitly setting `FC` etc. to `sage_fortran`
 in every spkg which uses Fortran is a redundant kludge.)
