*PING* Re: [Patch, Fortran] PR 43331 - Fix Cray pointer (middle-end) type declaration

*PING*

I am pinging for the combination of the following two patches:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-03/msg00061.html
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2010-03/msg00062.html

Asher was so kind to run their programs with those patches: "the patch
is an improvement, since it removes some unneeded complexity: I never
liked having that artificial constant bound!  I tested the changes on a
few codes, and it seems fine."

OK for the trunk?
