Hmm. 2:1 so far.. :) Does anyone else have any thoughts on it?
Does anyone have any experience developing a port for gcc?
If we got something basic up and running, and then put it on sourceforge, I
guess we'd find out fairly quickly where the issues were, and what support
people wanted, as people started to use it.
