Thanks Joseph

Iain is going away for the weekend, but Mike, Iain and I agreed in private discussions
that if this work is to go in, it needs to go in ASAP so it gets as much testing and
exposure as possible before the pending GCC 4.6 release.

So I committed the following patch.  The documentation is mine.  Please review it and let
me know if there is anything to tidy up.  I documented the -fobjc-nilcheck flag for what
I understood of it by looking at the implementation in Iain's pending patch.  If anyone
knows any better, please review and let me have any corrections or suggestions.

I'll now work on committing the latest version of Iain's big patch.

Thanks
