Perhaps we'll just want to fork away from top-level src, and have our own independent src (which, btw, would pave the way for a switch to a better VCS). It raises the problem of the synchronization with binutils, of course, but other than that, do we really need to have the same src as all the other projects? Do we really benefit from that? -- Joel
