I can ensure that, but you won't like the answer.

I'm neutral on that. In some ways it'd be easier - ie for packaging, and for building the native parser I keep mentioning... > Please don't get me wrong.

Or maybe Danny Smith can provide details on what it takes to build said library, and one of the folk that keep building gcc for-the-hell-of-it and talking on cygwin@ can become the maintainer? Rob
