pcons: new open source build tool, supports Fortran

Hi! I’m a longtime toolsmith and co-developer of SCons back in the day. I’ve been creating a new tool, using modern python as the build description language, to help build software in a multi-platform world. Pcons (https://github.com/DarkStarSystems/pcons) is that tool. It’s very new, and since I’m including Fortran support I’d love to have some Fortran users check it out and let me know what it needs! It supports mixed C++/Fortran, building installers on Mac/Windows, and more. I think of it as “SCons modernized, with CMake features”. I’m not using Fortran myself these days, but I grew up with it in the '70s and even wrote some CM Fortran on the Connection Machine in the '90s. I’m also willing to help implement pcons in your open source project if you’re interested; DM me if you are.
