I do hope that Pierre Vittet will get the account on GCC svn to be able to write into the MELT branch;
First, I want him to (and I trust him enough to) be able to commit his patches into the MELT branch.
And second, I want also him to merge regularily the trunk into the MELT branch, as I do (usually twice a week).


So I would be very grateful if Pierre did got an svn write access to GCC.

Regards.
