[f2py] What's the preferred way to select a compiler

Hi all,

I'm a bit puzzled as to what is the proper way to select a compiler. I
noticed that you can either select a compiler by vendor, using the
--fcompiler option; or by specifying the full path to f77 and/or f90,
using --f77exec and/or --f90exec. 

Related questions:
      * If I specify --f77exec and/or --f90exec, will these compilers
        then take precedence? 
      * And what's the precedence between f77 and f90?
      * Do I always need to specify full paths to both f77 and f90?

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
