Hi Roger, 

I figure I might as well push my luck. :)

Your patch appears to omit

program v
  real, allocatable :: x(:)
  allocate(x(100))
  x = 0.
end program v

which is probably your 

  "[4] Extend infrastructure for arbitrary (run-time) length expressions,
   such as a(1:n) = 0.0."

This idiom appears in a few places in Polyhedron, and I know it
is strewn throughout my own Fortran code.

Perhaps, the patch that Andrew has mention can deal with this.
