If they want to use "C" then fine, but they shouldn't be comming to a
"gputils" list for help.
Bearing in mind we probably won't have a huge number of contributors to
this, I think we need to be very focused on what we are trying to
achieve. Since the focus of this list is "gputils", and since that
doesn't include a C compiler, then I agree with "one language - a
relocatable assembler".
Plus, you really need a detailed understanding of the PIC architecture
to make the best of it's limited facilities, and you aren't going to get
that using "C".
