Thank you for the answer.

Wouldn't it be more convenient for all having both the C/C++ and Fortran 
compiler aboard the operating system since the compiler suite is a whole 
piece?

Well, no offense, but this remembers me on the time when SUN split the 
C-Compiler apart the OS or it looks like the behaviour of many Linux 
distribution even splitting header files apart from the OS. Hope FreeBSD 
will not tend to take apart header files and even the  C compiler ...
