VAST is a FORTRAN to FORTRAN preprocessor, not a compiler, that is
used by a number of systems as the front-end to their compilers.
VAST analyzes DO loops for vector/parallel-ization and inserts
compiler directives.  It also restructures the loops when possible
(inverts loops, propagates scalars to vectors, etc.).
