Treelang is not building due to missing
gt_ggc_deletable_rtab gt_ggc_rtab and gt_ggc_cache_rtab.

This seems to relate to the gengtype.c changes. It seems I need to define
some macros which this program will scan and then generate the files that
are needed. The only documentation I have located so far is:

"gengtype.c: New file."
(in gengtype.c and numerous other files) "Process source files and output
type information."

I guess I can reverse engineer what is required but a few hints or even
some documentation would be very helpful. It would also be helpful if the
source code complied with the fsf/gcc coding standards eg comments before
each function saying what the function does, what the parameters are and
what the return values are.

It appears I will need to patch gengtype.c to add treelang to the hard
coded list of languages (lang_names) included therein. Is there any
alternative to this? Normally the determination of languages is by a
discovery process rather than hard coding in sundry files.
