Comment (by hinder):

 The Kranc tutorial definitely did not require a Fortran compiler.  I can
 confirm that it no longer works.  I get

 {{{

 }}}

 The Kranc tutorial has a Jenkins job to automatically test it.  However,
 since the Jenkins system moved to NCSA, there is no longer any mathematica
 licence available, so we cannot run the tutorial there.

 Do we understand why CCTK_REAL is not defined?  Is this really linked to
 the absence of a Fortran compiler?  Note that the Kranc tutorial doesn't
 use any optionlist at all.  Cactus should automatically find everything it
 needs.
