Re: Summer of Code 2006

How about a pull-together of all the existing docs on how to create a new 
front-end / back-end.. stuff like whats in the gcc internals doc, and 
Stallman's "Using and porting gcc".. maybe update it all in a single place 
for ver 4.x, and update for the undocumented / obsolete macros?  It's not 
strictly coding, I know, but in many ways, it might actually be a more 
important (and higher level) project than one strictly involving coding, as 
it would clear up loose ends, and facilitate the expansion of gcc into other 
languages / targets.  The students that took the project on would gain a 
detailed knowledge of the structure of gcc itself, and would gain kudos for 
their efforts.  It would be a serious help to people trying to develop new 
front ends or back ends for gcc (like me!).
