It started as the latter (i.e., the stdlib compiler package improved) and 
proceeded via incremental change with the twin goals of generating correct 
object code and creating a clean compiler architecture (the latter somewhat 
subjective of course).  I'd be happy in principle to contribute the work, but 
the sum of the changes amounts to a substantial re-write, so I don't think it 
can be meaningfully submitted as a patch.
