Description
It would be useful if the Fortran interface was in a separate repository or if it could be built without building the C part of sundials.
I have a package that I'm putting on conda-forge (https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/23182#issuecomment-1629533181). It depends on sundials, but it requires the fortran interface. I can not link against the conda-forge sundials because it does not build the fortran interface. I need to instead, independent of conda-forge, build sundials with the fortran interface and link to my package.
Anyway, it would be useful to separate Sundials and the Fortran interface in some way.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the SUNDIALS build currently includes the Fortran interface and C components. Define whether the interface should move to a separate repository or become independently buildable, including the conda-forge packaging use case. Done means the chosen separation or independent-build behavior is implemented and usable by downstream packages.
