You will need to use numpy.distutils in order to built extension modules with
FORTRAN. You should be able to simply list the .f files in the sources list. You
can look at most of the scipy setup.py files; most of them have FORTRAN sources
in there somewhere. If you have more trouble, bring the code that you tried to
numpy-discussion, and we'll take a look at it.
