This is exciting news.

I have more fixes to Make-lang.in and fixes to impcnvgen.c and idgen.c for
cross-compiling (specifically Canadian crosses).  I also have fixes to the
autconf machinery, and various fixes to glue code for things like function
declarations, etc.  I've created an bugzilla account, so I'll start
submitting patches soon.

Are there still plans for a revision-controlled GDC?  SourceForge has
finally gained Subversion support and it would be nice if changes could be
tracked there.  I'm becoming more interested in cleaning up some bits of GDC
based on the target I've been porting it to.

Thanks for the heads up.
