I may be missing something here, but if like you say EGCS is a drop-in, 
why not drop it in before the next build and make sure it's all integrated 
so everyone else doesn't have to.  Especially since the B19 compiler 
isn't working (at least from what I here).   Seems to me, that you 
could drop it in with less chance of making a mistake than the rest of 
us and in minimal time (especially since you must be using it already).

I'm still on B18 waiting for a stable replacement.  I don't want to 
waste time doing an upgrade two or three times, I'll wait for 19.2 or 
20, whichever sounds stable.
