Is new-ra targeted for 3.4 or 3.5?

It's a relatively small matter for me to download a given branch and 
compile it for my own use -- and certainly, for the matter of testing, 
this is expected and reasonable.

For 99% or more of gcc's users, the version of gcc available is whatever 
the last stable release was, or the version of gcc provided by their OS.

So, when I publish my results in the next few days, I'll be publishing 
numbers for gcc-3.4 20031015; I may also do numbers for 3.3.2, and 
perhaps (time permitting) 2.95.3. But I think covering any of the 
development branches -- new-ra or tree-ssa -- is only valid for 
discussion here, among gcc developers. Most "users" aren't going to be 
working with branches, for whatever reason.
