That's being done here now. We're doing it in two passes. First pass to build
the object trees and the second for code generation. It's expected the first
pass will be done by the end of the month (doing IMPORTS/EXPORTS now). We
plan to keep to Wirth (4th edition) while listening to the standards proposals
to clarify ambiguities.

We're currently behind schedule by about 1.5 months. This is due to some
internal problems we were having which have been resolved. We're continuing
now at a steady pace.
