First we need some infrastructure changes to get the diffs right,
that's the major blocker right now.
I'll try to work on that tonight.

Snapshots are not just used by hacker, but also by the FreeBSD system

not have CVS access. In fact, it is hardly possible to contribute code
to GCC with only snapshot access, as one cannot do proper testing.
