I had not realized that there were so many changes outside of the C
front end. I think that it does indeed make sense to have someone look
at some of that stuff. I will be happy to take a look. Will you please
send me a patch (and CC the list) for the middle-end changes? It
doesn't have to apply to mainline cleanly, but that will give me -- and
people who know better than I! -- a chance to look over the
infrastructure changes.
Thanks,
