Besr in mind that the tool is continuing to improve. There are now three
people working on it effectively full-time in response to this conversion.
We will fix the attribution bug. Compared to dealing with dumpfile
malformations that sort of thing is a pretty easy problem once we have
a way to reproduce it.
At this point my only serious worry is what kinds of contortions we'll
need to go through to get around the effects of the GCC/EGCS merge.
I'll be concentrating on that once I finish debugging the analyzer
rewrite.
