That would require refactoring the FORTRAN. This is not a task to be
undertaken lightly. The best thing about working on this project is
realizing just how far programming has come since the days when
FORTRAN was popular.

I've been told that hading Cygwin the -mno-cygwin option will result
in an executable that doesn't depend on cygwin, which should include
X. Not wanting to have to deal with trying to get Python and Tcl/Tk to
build with gcc was why I asked the question in the first place.

Well, the other half the question - which C compiler should I be using
if I want to embed Python 2.2 on Windows, and which FORTRAN compiler
to go with it?
