Cool!  Richard, I'd like to add this as an annoucement on our home page.

Would you mind destilling a paragraph from your full announcement? I guess
we will also want to publish the announcement itself, as we have done in
the case of

  February 26, 1999 
      Richard Henderson of Cygnus Solutions has donated a major rewrite of
      the control flow analysis pass of the compiler. 

I suggest that you either go ahead and install changes to our home page
as well as a new file ia32.html (or similiar) or contact me by private
e-mail and we'll handle that HTML stuff together.

(In the first case, please submit these as patches to egcs-patches
afterwards.)
