MELT branch created, barely usable.

Hello All,

I just created the MELT branch (basically merging my own source tree), 
but it is barely usable.

See the wiki and my 2007 summit paper and
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/MiddleEndLispTranslator

The bootstrap is not completed, because:

   make bootstrap might not actually work

and most importantly, it should have a different meaning:

   the file gcc/warm-basilys.c (which does not exist yet! it is 
generated by "itself") should be compiled into a sort of plugin 
warm-basilys.so which is dynamically loaded by cc1 to be able to 
generate this very file gcc/warm-basilys.c from melt/warm-basilys.melt 
(which is still buggy and incomplete, and which I still "compile" to C 
with an horrible contrib/cold-basilys.lisp file (for CLISP)

So from a SubVersion point of view warm-basilys.c is like the configure 
files (generated, but in the source tree). I'm avoiding polluting the 
SubVersion repository with big generated files which are still buggy.

All this is *WORK IN PROGRESS*

Thanks for reading
