Kevin,

Would a fair summary of this be that you've encountered the following
road blocks:

	o	indent.pro

		So that indent gives better results


	o	a drain of some of the backlog of
		patches (pascal I believe is now
		going in).

		Apple and HP?

No one has objected to the principal (well not on gdb-patches :-) and
the tool would be based on perl rather than the the gcc thing.

Once those blockages are cleared, it can be scheduled and can go
through?
