Walter, it's great to see you've been able to find time to pursue this now!  I'll certainly add my 2 cents to get integration going :-)  I hope you can resolve the licensing issues to everyone's satisfaction.

Even if the licensing issues are sorted out today, I don't think it can realistically be added to the gcc source tree before 4.7.  They're already in stage 3, which will preclude any changes to the main compiler if needed.

cheers,
Jerry
