Or a branch? That would keep it out of the reach of normal users using the
CVS tree, even with -fnew-abi, while still permitting collaboration - which
is presumably the reason Mark wants it checked in to the gcc repository.

It's a bit more effort to merge the branch back in, but it can be done
discretely, without breaking anything.
