I am presently aiming to have the new GC as one of the first patches
committed after the tree is opened for branch merges.
At present, though, I'm rewriting chunks of the GC changes, because
they proved too hard to maintain. The new approach should be much
nicer.
I'll let everyone know when I have something to test...
Once the GC stuff is really done, the actual PCH changes are much
safer and can go in incrementally.
