I'd also love to see finalization and type-bound procedures in as soon 
as possible, of course :)

Regarding finalization, the second split-off part is pending 
review/comments and for finally handling the last cases I'm still 
waiting on comments on 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2008-08/msg00026.html or other ideas how 
to solve the temporaries-problem.  Otherwise, I'm quite confident we can 
get it in soon.

For type-bound procedures, thanks Tobias for your experiments with my 
patch, I'll look at your comments and I'm sure we can get this in soon, too.

While waiting on review and comments and such, I'll continue a bit "bug 
bashing" as as I did the last weeks; if there's anything you think would 
be especially worthwhile fixing and might be some thing I'm already 
confident with, I'm open to suggestions on my PR-choice.

Cheers,
Daniel
