Please have him send the ideas you're working on to the list. I wrote up a
very long list of the directions I think it should go a while back in a
conversation with the ARM folks (Mr. Malloy) as well.

Hi,

I'm ahead of you actually Eric and already contacted Reed about it!

I fully intend to put forward a set of patches that implement what we discussed
very shortly (in the next 2 weeks). I must admit that after our discussion I
feel there was some miscommunication as to who had the action to actually
implement the spec - it was only after a prolonged silence that I realised it
was me! :-)

For the list's benefit, the discussion was based around a set of patches I
supplied a few months back to ease the cross compilation story and tablegen up
the Clang driver to get rid of those horrible switch/cases and -ccc-host-triple.
Myself and Eric agreed on pretty much everything, but I want to implement the
patch much better so I'm writing from scratch.

I can forward the related emails if there is interest.

Cheers,

James

Sorry, I've ended up being terribly busy :(

Whee! If you can make it somewhat incremental and a series of patches that'd
be awesome. Otherwise I'll still review it - it may just take longer :)
