It cost nothing to have the support.
If it bitrots let me fix it.
And the fun factor was just way too huge, which was the whole point of cgen.
After several miserable years on (pre-egcs) gcc, I desparately needed to

The cynic in me wonders if there was some internal political
reason for its removal.
