Personally I'm in favour of a big one shot synch without much of ChangeLog
(limited to the Ada bits, common backend change must have proper 
ChangeLog of course).
This would get the situation of GCC CVS vs ACT CVS back to reasonable 
right now and will allow
effective volunteer work.

Any objection?
