According to the man page (efl.1), EFL is "Extended Fortran
Language".  The linked sources files appear to be the C
implementation of the efl command, a translator for EFL to Fortran.
EFL seems to be based on Ratfor, but with C-like data structures
in addition to Ratfor's control flow constructs.

A Ratfor preprocessor (translating Ratfor to Fortan 77) is still
available, for example via the "ratfor" package on Ubuntu.
