I know; I only learned to use "differentiate" instead of "derivate" after
several professors corrected me in the USA.

Oh, I was not aware of that. In that case there is no problem, as long as yor
program works equally well for those who use Intel Fortran 90 and for those
who use gcc. The idea is that we do not want gcc users to feel at
disadvantage and make them think that they have to get Intel's Fortran to
fully take advantage of your program.

That would be even better, but if you still want to keep f90 optional for those
who have it, that's OK.

Yes, please register your project again explaining what you just explained to
me (you may use the long URL included in the acknowledgment of the first
registration, to ease the new registration).
Someone else different from me will process your application this time, so
you should not assume that he is aware of the content of this discussion.

Cheers,

P.S. I hope you don't mind that I've sent copy to savannah-hackers, since our
discussion might be useful for others registering projects in Savannah.
