[Fedora-packaging] fortran .mod files

[Ed Hill]

Greetings gfortran wizards,

Could some kind soul please provide some guidance (or perhaps just
opinions/perspective?) regarding the handling of *.mod files within a
Linux distribution?  The "where should they live?" question came up on
the Fedora packaging list at:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-October/msg00006.html

And, here is a concrete example:

  0) netcdf provides a netcdf.mod file
  1) the mod file provided for i386 is (aha!) not identical to
     the one provided for x86_64 (and for ppc/ppc64)
  2) we'd like to be able to simultaneously install both 
     the i386 and x86_64 versions (and ditto for ppc/ppc64)
  3) where, in your opinion, is the "best" or "standard" place to 
     put the netcdf.mod files?

Any help or insights are appreciated!

thank you,
Ed
