In the past it was suggested (by Hamish?), that gcc should be split into a 
series of front-ends.

The new release of gcc might be a good time to do this.

we could have gcc-c, gcc-ada, gcc-f77, gcc-pascal, gcc-java, etc

gcc-c would include C and C++ and be part of the base system. everyting else 
would be optional.  We would need to track down all the spells which depend 
on any of these and update their DEPENDS accordingly.

Doing this, we could even have gcc-c at 3.3.2 and gcc-f77 at 3.4?

Any thoughts?


Regards,  Treeve
