What exactly are you talking about here? Are you attempting to get our
machine independent changes in at this time? I thought we had decided
that we were only going to send him the machine dependent part of the
tree at this time.

There are still issues that need to be resolved in the machine independent
code that will cause things to be done differently from the way we are
doing them now (e.g. stack direction, stack location, possibly some cache
flushing).  It does not make sense to try to merge the machine independent
code at this time in my opinion.
