I thought your current maintainer policy was zero editorial control,
just let random strangers form a slush pile in the mob branch and then
ship it?  (I can't say I've been reading the list very closely.)

It's a little disheartening to see issues I fixed over three years ago
come up over and over again.  If I recall, you refused to port things
you either "didn't understand" or didn't see a need for (such as
refactoring the code so it wasn't one big tcc.c without even a tcc.h)
from my tree the last time I gave up and waited for you guys to just
stop it.

I put a lot of work into my version, but Fabrice wouldn't hand it the
project to anybody who wanted to move the code out of the gnu.org CVS
repository, and Linux Weekly News covered releases that went up on
tinycc.org, even back when the bulk of the changes in them ported from
my version.  I wouldn't mind so much if you didn't REFUSE TO TAKE
OBVIOUS THINGS that you're now finding a need for all these years later.

Sigh.  I'm going to go back to ignoring this list now.  I should go
catch up on the pcc and llvm lists...
