There is a small chance that there may be some NeXT-only ObjC fixes in
addition to ObjC++.  Of course, if/when objc-improvements-branch is 
ready
to be integrated into mainline, _all_ of it will be subject to review.

Also, as I commit things, I can send copies of the ChangeLog to 
gcc-patches,
so that you can get a bird's eye view of what is happening.  Would that 
be helpful?
