[fpc-devel] Pending approval...

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Good to hear from you Pierre - I was afraid that something had happened 
because you had gone silent without much warning.  But yes, one has to 
be patient, and I'll try my best.

I'll say something though... the work I've done with the compiler is 
proving to be a good selling point in job interviews, so I thank you and 
Florian for allowing me the opportunity to play around with it!
