Can you supply the URL that states g95 is contained in the GCC
4.0 release? That is clearly a mistake!

Please supply URL's. A top-level search at http://www.gnu.org/
gives 9 hits for "gfortran". A top-level search on "g95" returns
2 hits, where one is clearly a typo in the gfortran documentation
and the other simply notes that the NIST test suite can be parsed
by g95 (again probably a typo).

You can get more info on gfortran at
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran
You may also be interested in
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/TheOtherGCCBasedFortranCompiler
in particular, you should note that g95's runtime library
is covered by the GPL not LGPL. Think about the consequence
if you plan to distribute a binary version on some program.
