Thanks, Taras!
I slightly updated this page, i.e. we would like to be able to load plugins
through environment variables to be able to optimize programs transparently
as it is done in MILEPOST GCC (without Makefile modifications). By the way,
we plan to extend the Interactive Compilation Interface by the end of this year
to access most of the internal transformations, however it will be
based on the event and call-back mechanisms, which is similar to your
GCC API proposal so we shouldn't have lots of compatibility problems
if we later agree on the same plugin system...
Personally I'm against the env var idea as it would make it harder to
figure out what's going on. I think someone mentioned that the same
effect could be achieved using spec files.
