Apparently Intel was able to redistribute it with their fortran 
compiler.

IntelĀ® Visual Fortran development environment based on Microsoft 
Visual Studio 2010 Shell is included with Academic and Commercial 
licenses for IntelĀ® Visual Fortran. It is not included with 
Evaluation or Student licenses. This development environment 
provides everything necessary to edit, build and debug Fortran 
applications. Some features of the full Visual Studio product are 
not included, such as:
Resource Editor (see ResEdit*, a third-party tool, for a 
substitute)
Automated conversion of Compaq* Visual Fortran projects

I guess what I mean to say is that they did it, maybe it can be 
done. Of course VS Shell is still way more than is necessary for 
our purposes.
