I was getting increasingly worried that, while stuff is being reviewed, none
of it actually seems to be getting into CVS ... even one of the earliest patches
to simply add the existing objc code into the configure/make process and
activate it (which I think one reviewer said was a no-brainer or something
similar) is still outstanding.

Just FYI, enabling the code for the default build is one of the last things to happen, not one of the first.

- gdb's language code isn't modula There isn't a clean way of dropping in new languages (like many things, a developer got half way through the process, and then stopped. It has then remained in that state for ~10 years. A --with-languages=... isn't there.

- this specific code came from [very old] a fork. As such it needs sigificant work before it gets integrated into GDB. Adam has been doing a briliant job. What's in GDB is noticably different to what was in Apple's fork.
