Hey, I'm all for a Modula-3 to C converter. :-) I'd actually consider
that the optimal solution. You'd not only make CVSup available to all
NetBSD architectures, but you'd also open the vast world of Modula-3
software to running on all sorts of platforms. You're also saving by not
having the overhead of maintaining two implementations of CVSup.
