The availability of bigarrays, which support Fortran-layout, shouldn't make this task too difficult, I hope. Given the problem I want to solve, I'll only need a handful of functions, but I'll try to get the basic design right so that other people can continue extending the interface. I am not terriby educated in numerical computation so if anybody wants to contribute right from the start (both with design hints or (even better) code), I could put the project on SourceForge.
