Yes I know, that is why I asked for it to be removed from hamm (besides the
fact that it was totally out of date, since it was the last snapshot from
the summer). I was just offering to do it if people wanted it, it's not to
hard on me, and with all those pentium-2's floating around the lab, I have
cycles to burn. :) Also, I believe, that pgcc will still be more advance
than egcs in some respects, i.e. that is where the experimentation will be
done, so it might not be a great compiler to have in the main dist, but
would be just as good as egcs snapshots, i.e. the work is done on pgcc, and
then integrated with egcs.
