[To be honest, to me it's more than WBN. I'd really like the top level configury support for cgen put back. Please pretty please?] btw, one thing that depresses me is that the hobbit code is lost. The sourceware repository was set up afterwards. Any chance you can do me a favor and dig it up from some internal archive?
