[Rd] Using Fortran 90 code in packages for CRAN

I recently submitted a package to CRAN which encompasses Fortran 90 code.
Neither on my linux system nor on the win-builder system the compilation
reported any error or warning. The function worked fine. However, after
submission of the package to CRAN, I received an email that I should not
include Fortran 90 code.
The problem is that the part written in Fortran is a large function using
modules. Thus, rewriting the function in FORTRAN 77 is impossible. So, I
searched on CRAN and found some packages which contain Fortran 90 code. Is it
generally possible to submit R packages to CRAN containing Fortran 90 source
code? If so, what specific things should I consider?
Thank you for your help
