Since gcc 4.0 will be out of the door not in less than two months from
now, and given that gcc 4.1, which ought to solve at least the basic
problems with tree-ssa etc. is not even in sight yet, I propose that
there will be a gcc-3.5 release with support for Pascal, based upon
gcc-3.4, current gpc and Waldek's patches.
I propose that Pascal be put into 4.0, and after that works, then we
consider what is next. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing it in 4.0,
assuming you don't need large or complex or destabilizing or dangerous
or gross changes to the non-gcc/gpc files; otherwise 4.1.
This is just how we do engineering work, first, fix mainline, then, if
important enough and safe enough, then fix older release branches.
