 It's possible to use f2c but f2c will add an _ at the end of all the MPI
routines and
f2c will not be able to suppress the return code of the fortran routines.

An other problem will be the correspondance between Fortran types and C
types :
In fortran a communicator is an integer, in C is a MPI_Comm, a datatype
in fortran
is an integer, in C a MPI_Datatype, .....

So it's quite difficult ....
