    We depend on volunteers to make binaries for most systems.  If you 
    would like to help out, please contact bug-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu dot 

Is there any hope of using Sun's compilers for Solaris on Sparc?  I
see that the configure script doesn't even like Sun's fortran
compiler.  As mentioned in the docs, it would be preferable to use
this over f2c.

I'm willing to assist (and prepare binaries), but I must emphasize
that I don't know anything useful about C++.  I can grant an account
to you if it is of any use.  Sun's compilers are available, including
f77 and f90.
