[cfe-dev] Clang should natively support fortran

[Nico Weber via cfe-dev]

Hi Yuri,

this was discussed in a lot of detail in the thread (
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120430/057199.html).
The consensus was that there should be a separate fortran frontend, since
the language is fairly different from C/C++ (which clang specializes in).
