Well unfortunately I'm invovled in a project know. And besides there is
some guy who is already doing it (see the later posts). And I don't think
that adding pre compiled headers to GCC is something like writing one or
two source files ;-) So it is a bit too much IMHO asking any single guy to
write it. 

Here wait a minute, why don't you do it Martin, nothings preventing you.
If you can ask me to do it well I too can ask you to add support for
precompiled headers to gcc too ;-)
