Hi Bill,

I certainly think it's useful, and would support putting it somewhere
on the main site once you've completed it, if that's acceptable to
you.  Dunno what others think, though.

I've been thinking of writing a brief document, maybe in tex or
texinfo format, about internals of cpplib.  Hopefully this would make
it easier for others to chip in, though I don't think cpplib is
anywhere near as intimidating as the compiler proper.  There are
various things that could trip people up and should be documented
properly, though.  Is this a good idea?

Neil.
