There is no way to measure such things -- they can't be known in advance. What's clear is that we can either _try_ to support GCC or else give up without a fight. We can't fight later if we give up now. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
