Yes, I think this should be done anyway to make the interface more 
Fortran-friendly. If you use the descriptor-passing-mechanism, you can omit 
the buffer length, type, and other information since it will be passed in the 
descriptor and the wrapper can extract it and pass it to the C routine 
(itself a wrapper?).
