I think it is a bit early to dive down into coding just now; first I
would like some consensus on the canonical version control system and
on which version of GCC to aim for.

That said, one of the first things we'll have to do is to branch
gcc-snapshot into gcc-4.4.  I see that the last update to
branches/sid/gcc-snapshot, in the Subversion repository, dates back to
2007-06-13.  This begs the question: Matthias, where do you keep the
gcc-snapshot scripts? (are they identical to the latest gcc-4.3
scripts?)

Thanks a lot.
