The etags program which comes with the emacs 18.59 distribution
contains the following test in function `find_entries':

  /* if not a .c or .h or .y file, try fortran */
  if (cp && (cp[1] != 'c' && cp[1] != 'h' && cp[1] != 'y')
      && cp[2] == '\0')

This prevents `.for' files (under VMS) or `.inc' files (I use this
extension for files which I include from `.f' files) from being parsed
for Fortran tokens.

Also, the code does something different from what is explained in the
comment. Probably this should be:

  /* if not a .c or .h or .y file, try fortran */
  if (cp && !((cp[1] == 'c' || cp[1] == 'h' || cp[1] == 'y')
	      && cp[2] == '\0'))

Best regards
