And this is where I start to get scared :-) Once folks can start interacting with GCC over a TCP connection we have to start thinking much harder about the security ramifications of various hunks of code.
If we end up going down this path at some point, I'd really like to look for ways to leverage existing code that's already being used in the wild and hopefully has been through real security audits. Jeff
