Using an ---ignore_tkr or --don't_optimize_procedure_a flag is NOT portable! 
It is portable only because all vendors know MPI is important to support. It 
is not legal Fortran, and has never been.

I believe it is much more than a technicallity. An MPI standard littered with 
sections labeled "Warning about Fortran ..." or "Incompatibility with Fortran 
90..." sections hardly seems like a technical nit pick to me.
