 Warnings should not be suppressed.  It has the potential to hide bugs.
 I found one problem that cause build failure with f2c.
 Subroutine zeroi is used with REAL, but define as INTEGER.

 That's right!
 But do you know why this replacement is required for FreeBSD 4.x?
 (or just taken from FreeBSD ports?)
 Some platforms supported by pkgsrc may need same replacement and
 we cannot maintain the file if we don't know why it is required.
 
 I'd forgotten about one more question:-) I have tree questions!
 
 R3D_LIB is user-configurable variable
 or always must be ${PREFIX}/share/raser3d/materials?
