But the internal Cygnus development tree doesn't represent the EGCS
development tree either. A great deal of development goes on in the EGCS
developement tree, and the internal Cygnus development tree contains
some stuff that is not suited for the EGCS tree (for example: a
enviroment variable that the compiler reads for command line options;
they deem this too error prone for EGCS). g77, if I understand
correctly, is completely developed in the outside tree.

I still don't understand the great worries about GNAT beta versions
getting distributed. I don't see problems arising from the EGCS
snapshots being distributed; if you download a snapshot you know what
you're getting. I don't see how big problems would arise from releasing
GNAT wavefront versions. It certainly doesn't compel ACT to distribute
beta version, though.

While it's on topic, since EGCS is now the official GCC tree, when will
there be a version of GNAT that builds on EGCS? It would be much more
convientent for those of use running EGCS.
