That's a real shame, there seems to be a lot of optimization tweaks
included in that code.  I'm going to work on merging it in, the only
problem is that when 1.1.2 or whatever comes out it's a big setback.

I think i'll check out their listserv and see what egcs people have to say
about this now.

I'm wondering why someone from their camp didn't volunteer to do the
merging/indenting.
