I would guess that a straight translation of Fortran to C++ could be
automated. However, there doesn't seem to be any point in it unless
you're going to make use of the object-oriented capabilities of C++.
Then, of course, you're looking at a complete refactoring, which would,
indeed, be non-trivial.
