Is it planned to 'officially' support F95 code in R-2.2.0?
If not, by now, how is it possible to 'smothly' use F95 code in a
package (i mean, using gfortran)?
Something like stopping compilation if a non-f95 compiler is found. My
idea by now is to search for the gfortran executable, and set the F77
variable to this in the configure script...

Any suggestion will be appreciated!

Do you mean in a contributed package to be installed in R?  There are no 
plans to use F95 in R itself.

If so, perhaps by 2.3.0, but there are a lot of issues to resolve.  For 
example, how do you indicate that the source file is F95?  Some compilers 
accept a .f95 extension, but not all (and it is not ever clean which do).

            

      
      
      
    

        
It is not. The largest R platform, Windows, does not have a supported F95 
compiler.  (g95 works with MinGW, but R has no support for it as yet, nor 
can one expect people to have installed it.)

            

      
      
      
    

        
Why do you think gfortran is a F95 compiler? (It has considerable support 
for F95, but not complete support AFAICS.)  And that it is the only F95 
compiler?   How do you propose to tell if you have a F95 compiler?
