In general, I'm not sure that pushing everything into cc1 is necessary
(or even ideal). In fact, I prefer doing as much in the driver as
possible, and keeping the interface to the "compilers" minimal. For
example, Zack had some good ideas about moving much of cpplib's
over-complicated include handling into the driver and reducing the
number of switches that CPP accepts. This could be done cleanly and
without much difficulty I think.
I'll post a mail soon about where I am with this stuff, I think I've
got most bases covered. Compared to my original posting of January,
I've become more ambitious, not less, with what I want to achieve.
Neil.
