Re: [incremental] Patch: FYI: lex all at once

I'm checking this in on the incremental-compiler branch.

This changes the C front end to do all lexing at once, rather than
incrementally.  This is infrastructure needed for token checksumming.

This patch breaks a couple things in the front end, in particular PCH
and also (I think) some parts of asm handling.  These problems are
fixable and will be fixed long before I try to get this merged to
mainline; I am just ignoring them for now.


Interesting. Out of curiosity, does this speed up or slow down the C compiler at all?
