Excellent.  That's what I was hoping for.  No need for another Cobol2C,
I guess.  Are there plans to be able to generate a listing of the
assembler code at compile time (like MF and COBOL II can do)?  I've
never tried doing that with gcc, so I'm not sure if it can, already
(truth be told, I just thought of the question, and am going to bed,
so...).  I found that capability useful on the mainframe with debugging,
but I'm not sure it would be more than interesting on the PC...
