Would anybody care to volunteer to review the Go frontend on these
grounds?  The code can be found on the gccgo branch in the gcc/go
subdirectory.

There is also the libgo directory.  The contents of libgo/go are a copy
of the standard Go library and I don't think a review of that would be
useful.  But it would be reasonable to review the contents of libgo
outside of libgo/go.  This code can found on the gccgo branch in the
libgo subdirectory.

And there is the testsuite, which I suppose I will post separately.

Ian
