Thanks for integrating it !

I have some problem with your FORTRAN implementation.
The problem is how you set the flags in numpy.i "int 
require_fortran(PyArrayObject* ary)" (~ line 402).

You do it like this:
ary->flags = ary->flags | NPY_F_CONTIGUOUS;
which does not work (at least on my computer) - I still get usual 
C-ordered arrays returned.

However, it does work if you set the flags like this:
ary->flags = NPY_FARRAY;

A small typo: in the docs you also write about 1D FORTRAN ARGOUTVIEW 
wrappers:

( DATA_TYPE** ARGOUTVIEW_FARRAY1, DIM_TYPE* DIM1 )
( DIM_TYPE* DIM1, DATA_TYPE** ARGOUTVIEW_FARRAY1 )

which of course do not exist.
