Let's start with removing some obviously dead stuff:
- Bounded pointer checking "gcc.gnu.org/projects/bp/". The
line "Project Status (updated 2000-08-11)" should tell you
enough. My understanding is this work has been subsumed
by mudflap, but even if it is not, this is Really Old Stuff
that needs to go away.
- Value range propagation pass "which isn't yet in GCC" and
never will be. There is a newer vrp.c on the hammer branch
and Diefo wants a VRP pass for tree-ssa.
- Automaton based pipeline hazard recognizer. This is not
work in progress, it's finished.
Okay. And thanks for attacking this mess!

However, I think the web page for it should be marked with a prominent
"this project is dead" notice rather than removed and causing 404s for
anyone with external links or bookmarks to it.
For added bonus points, you could establish a new page projects/dead.html
and redirect (via htdocs/.htaccess which is also in CVS) to bp/ pages to
that new page. This will give any linkers a stronger hint, namely a
redirection code, and I suspect we will need to resuse this page in the
future.
