I had not realized that there were so many changes outside of the C
front end.  I think that it does indeed make sense to have someone look
at some of that stuff.  I will be happy to take a look.  Will you please
send me a patch (and CC the list) for the middle-end changes?  It
doesn't have to apply to mainline cleanly, but that will give me -- and
people who know better than I! -- a chance to look over the
infrastructure changes.

Thanks,
