fortran also has an include directive. But you are talking about 
'generated headers'. Do you mean precompiled headers or ... ?

So you suggest I just use the standard generator (like in the VERBATIM 
example in the manual) ?

I have currently a working toolset for the gcc fortran compiler and plan 
to add one for the IBM fortran compiler tomorrow. Can I add them to the 
CVS or shall I first send them to you ?
