Ongoing development.  I'm just about ready to check in snarf-n-barf for 
fragments so that things like:

foo.h:
	int i = 1;

that output assembly code such as:

.globl i
i:
	.word 1

is reoutput in reused fragments.  Next will be cpp macro management for 
C++ and then reuse and timestamp fixes for C++.

Per is working on detangling dup_decls so that we don't modify the old 
decl.  This will be really handy for C++ fragment management.  Per and 
I sit within 20 feet of each other, so even when we don't generate lots 
of volume on the list, we do usually generate a bit of face time, 
specially for design issues, hard problems and other such things.

If you'd like to contribute...  :-)  We're happy to have any help...  
There is still plenty of work that needs to be done before testing is 
very useful, though, regtesting might be useful to me.
