I thought that gpc was similar to gcc(I'm not that familiar with gpc -- it
won't build with the cygnus source tree I use)..isn't gpc.exe like gcc.exe
in that it's just a shell for ccp.exe and cc1.exe, as.exe, ld.exe
,etc,etc.

It would be just as easy to write a whole new gnubpc.exe shell...? It would
be cleaner perhaps...
