F and G95

I have some questions about F (the Fortran 95 subset) and G95.

The goal of the G95 project is to produce a full Fortran 95 (F95) open
source compiler. How much smaller a task would it be to create from
scratch an F compiler? The F language is much smaller than F95 (can
this be quantified?) and should also be easier to parse (no fixed
source form, for one thing). Once G95 is finished, it would be nice to
have compiler switches to restrict the language to Elf (from Lahey) or
F, if doing so does not violate copyrights.

I am aware that F compiler binaries can be downloaded free for many
platforms, and I am NOT claiming that the mission of G95 should have
been different.
