A full Algol-68 front end is a huge project. Several person years, it is
a large and complex language. The definitive reference is the Algol-68
revised report, published by IFIP (WG2.1). It is a difficult document,
requiring some considerable facility in reading W grammars.
I would be happy volunteering with the VW grammars for that project. I already
use the Algol 68 'ctrans' implementation, but a gcc front-end would be
definitly great.
