[gcc.texi] Other Front-ends


The other frontends list is massively out of date. I removed Fortran,
as it's integrated. I removed Modula-3, as it seems to be 'persona
non grata' wrt the GNU project. This left Ada (9X -> 95) and Pascal, and
since they are no more in development at this point than C and C++,
I changed the phrasing there.
(Whew! That justification was longer than the change!)

! Front ends for other languages, such as Ada 9X, Fortran, Modula-3, and
! Pascal, are under development.  These front-ends, like that for C++, are
! built in subdirectories of GCC and link to it.  The result is an
  integrated compiler that can compile programs written in C, C++,
  Objective C, or any of the languages for which you have installed front
  ends.
