This is the source package that Boisy had.  After some minor work on the 
Makefiles, it compiles fine under gcc on my Ubuntu Hardy system.  The 
library sources are mostly mechanical disassemblies of the Microware C 
library and they needed a small amount of fixup to remove some bogus 
duplicate symbols.

Will do.  Hopefully within a day or so.  At this point, I have no bothered 
with any of the compiler front-end programs since a shell script does just 
fine.

Final problem will be to get the owner of Malted Media to move it into an 
accessible area for downloads.  Boisy pinged him, but there's been no 
action as of yet.
