I'm afraid I ended up postponing it and wrapped only the Fortran parts I 
really needed right away manually instead (by writing Cython wrappers 
which pass the arguments by address and does the necesarry NumPy things; 
and by creating an f90 wrapper for calling functions with assumed-shape 
array arguments). So there's nothing usable in the sense of code, I've 
mostly been thinking about how to do it.

So if it is me who's doing it, my wild guess is that this will happen 
either in summer or during autumn (so within the end of 2009, but 
perhaps not very much before).
