Then I will not work on that part. I planned to inform the world in here
before I began anyway to coordinate efforts. If I should do anything it
can not be a too large project anyway as the next university semester
starts soon and hell breaks loose for my part. I intend to get the
profiler up and running for NetBSD as my first priority though. When
that is finished, let us see how much time I can find. Suggestions for
small projects I can handle are welcome.

As for the proper frontend: That is indeed great news. I am getting
tired of having the monolith installed (SML/NJ) and development seems to
have stalled. I presume they got hit by the 2nd effect. 

And for a couple of patches:

This one missed my first patch-set. We should all agree that C could do
without placing semicolons as SML, but unfortunately that is not the
case:

This is a little hack that splits out examples into their own directory
definition. It helps me quite a bit when working for the NetBSD pkgsrc.
I do not want you to commit it headlessly, but rather discuss it. I
think I should make i new target install-examples and place it there. I
could do this with patches in the pkgsrc, but it would be nicer if the
structure handled it. Preliminary patch follows so people can get an
idea of what I am trying to do:
