3) Fortran support. Very useful, and I'd like to see them in Python's distutils. Another option would be to put this in SciPy.fortran or something similar.

I agree in principle, but I wonder how stable the Fortran support in SciPy distutils is. If it contains compiler-specific data, then it might not be a good idea to restrict modifications and additions to new Python releases.
