That's an enormous amount of work.  We're more likely to get something
useable by continueing to provide a patchkit to allow the latest public
release of GNAT to be used with egcs *and* by encouraging the GNAT
folks to work with us instead of by themselves.

I don't forsee someone coming along and rewriting the Ada front end
in C.
