Two points:

1) Benefit of this work (along with Dorit's work):

	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-07/msg01355.html

2) It is implemented once entirely in apple-ppc-branch. If-conversion 
patch is being reviewed by Richard. Today I was offline so I have not 
replied his email, but I am confident that it will be OKed soon. 
Regarding second part, it requires replacing builtins with new tree 
codes. Richard and Jim explained lot of things and I'll try hard to 
complete it by deliver date.
