There is single configured source archive for all compilers now. It means
that support of ALL languages (C,C++,Objective C and Fortran) is included in 
gcc.exe. As the result gcc.exe from gcc281b.zip supports Fortran and 
there is no more need to replace it when unpacking g770523b.zip.

I also agree that so things are simplier. You can check it in very simple 
way:
  	touch test.f
	gcc -v -c test.f
Of course gcc.exe will not find f771.exe if g77 binaries are not installed,
but You'll see that gcc is looking for it.
