    <---- gcc-3.0.tar.gz ---->
    gcs-3.0/configure
	    it picks up information from the various languages front-ends
	    and builds Makefile that will build them all.  It checks
	    whether the bkend 
    ...

I think this is more or less what Kenner is already planning.
Whether the back end files are at top level
or in a subdirectory called bkend or backend
doesn't seem like a major issue to me; either way is probably ok.

    <---- gcs-c.3.0.tar.gz ---->

The C front end can be in a separate subdirectory,
but it has to be in the base tar file.
Everyone needs to build the C front end
so as to be able to bootstrap.
And cpp is needed for multiple languages
(at least C++ and Objective C, but maybe others),
so it has to be in the base tar file too.


Renaming GCC to GCS might be a good idea, since it is not
just a C compiler any more.
