Great. I was moving in that direction (already using fpm as a dependency) but was using a LOT more code to access the data. This looks to make short work of that. Will give it a try with some lower hanging fruit (loading compiler options into environment variables and starting a subshell, listing all de)pendent packages, dumping dependency list, …)
Thanks!

This. Just ship single-file FPM and compile it as the first step. I think this is the easiest way.

If the primary goal is to support people who don’t have fpm installed, then it might be much simpler to tell them that installing fpm requires compiling one file with gfortran. That one file is in every release, e.g., fpm-0.10.1.F90. That’s as low a barrier to installation as I’ve ever seen.
