It's a particularily nasty one, in that the ada front end requires an existing ada compiler to run.

Yes. If you have time for the task, great, if not I was hoping to solicit volunteers after writing a spec for it. There seem to be a few bored people hanging out on #hurd who might be willing to take this on. If you don't have time, I was going to look at Tinderbox, but I've heard it particularily nasty to setup. > BTW, Jeroen might be interested in monitoring the build logs etc. That would be cool. But I'll let him volunteer before I give him work. ;) -- One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures. -- George W.
