Windows users are well off with Python(x,y), it comes with GFortran.
I believe also the newer (newest?) Mingw's come with GFortran, but I'm 
not sure right now.

There are also some GFortran Windows binaries linked to from GCC's wiki.

Linux users of course should use the GFortran shipped with their 
distribution.
