Well some people here in the group seem to think a certain commercial
involvement will eventually need to be part of the CAL initiative (hey I
like that name :-) in order to acheive commercial quality library (in a
reasonable sense of the word.  and those individuals were wondering about
the interest of compiler vendors (and others) in such a project and
potential involvement of these participants into the finalization of the
library.

As well, some members also wanted some insight on the part of compiler
vendors as to what their point of view was to determine what should be part
of the library itself as per research or plain customer requests.

This is what I'm attempting to answer with these inquiries to set that side
at ease, settle it so to speak so that we can move on to the next phase of
the CAL initiative :-).
