If the esteemed review committee of Linux Expo deems my paper [to
be written] on the issue of "Fortran related optimisations in egcs"
(that's not the title - the real one is better) worthy of a
presentation at Linux Expo, I'm probably the only one presenting
interesting work that isn't "original" in the sense that it hasn't
been written up / implemented elsewhere (see
http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1997-Dec/0396.html and
http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1998-Jul/1034.html )
We still have a long way to go ...
