Regarding the list at http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:SnowLeopard,
the g95 package will almost certainly have to be left marked as Distribution
restricted to 10.4 and 10.5. The g95 author forked long ago from FSF gcc's 
gfortran
code and still uses an ancient version of gcc for his backend. There really 
isn't
a major reason to use g95 in 10.6 as Apple addressed the blockdata issue which
prevented ncarg from building with gfortran in Xcode 3.2. Also, g95 doesn't use
a testsuite so upgrading it is always Russsian roulette in terms of its code
generation. At least with FSF gcc, one knows the level of breakage when it is
released.

ps Also if you look at the nightly Polyhedron 2005 benchmarks...

g95 is the worst for code optimization.
