I'm copying Kristján directly since I doubt he's still following the
python-checkins list actively enough to notice that replies "to him"
actually just go to python-checkins.

Kristján is actively using that directory in his business, so he's
maintaining it for now.  At the NFS sprint he demonstrated significant
speedups via exploiting profile-guided optimization, so it should of
substantial interest over time.  If everyone loses interest, fine,
then it becomes like PC/VC6/ and RISCOS/ and ... in the meantime, it
doesn't get in the way of anything I ever do <0.5 wink>.
