We prefer to call them separate 'engines' for one compiler---they
share a lot of stuff when installed and have a very similar, but not
quite the same, source code base. In later versions (like 1518, I
think) we've combined them into one source base, and that should also
be visible in the anonymous CVS archive (if it isn't, it will be
soon).
