That's what I worried about when I last touched this code. Now I'm thinking "what took us so long to do this!!??".

*.bib diff=bibtex *.tex diff=tex

*.[Ff] diff=fortran *.[Ff][0-9][0-9] diff=fortran

GNU fortran currently recognizes .fXX where XX is 90, 95, 03 and 08 and probably enables/disables features based on the respective standard. [0-9][0-9] would future proof against fortran f13 and f25 as long as there aren't other extensions that would conflict.

Wikipedia says that .for is an extension for fortran, but I've never seen that in the wild. Maybe it's a windows thing (3-char ext).
