fc in the f2c package

[Alan Bain <alanb@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

The package f2c (fortran-> C) which I mantain contains a script
fc which is supposed to make f2c seem like a real compiler.  It was
part of the original f2c netlib distribution, but it is very
antique and has three bugs currently filed against it (no man
page, use of /tmp, name conflict with bash internal).  The second
of these is easily fixed (thanks to PMM) but the first and third
make me wonder if it should just be removed (and people encouraged
to use fort77 which solves the problem in a much more powerful
and elegant way).  Any comments?
