Umm, well I doubt if we will actually be deleting the VAX/VMS coed
right away. Much more likely is that the port will be labeled as
being obsolete and then *after* the next major release of binutils
(2.15, due end of the year maybe), if no-one has complained, it will
be removed.
So if you want to contribute your patch now I think that you are going
to have to work around the old, rotted, vax/vms code.
Cheers
Nick
