We're hoping to do one next week.

There is no current work on export that I know of.

It is by far the most important piece left; it implements in a standard,
portable way the useful qualities of what people have been calling 
"precompiled headers".  Without it we'll be looking at a noticeable 
fraction of a minute per .cc file just to reread all the standard 
library template definitions.

Anybody who wanted the world's everlasting gratitude probably wouldn't 
choose export to work on, but if they wanted *mine* that would do it.
