Ding, ding, ding.  We have a winner!

For the surveys we've received for possible V9 x86 early adopters/testers, Pascal has been high on the list.  The spread of OpenVMS languages is not what the rest of the world expects.

And I've already hooked the Pascal frontend to our GEM-to-LLVM converter and have generated code.  We've been debugging some issues with Pascal SETs as that uses GEM datatypes that neither BLISS or C has pushed on so far.  Of course, I can't really execute anything yet.  (I could hack up a Linux testbench since we used to have a libpas.so on Tru64 that would probably work but by the time I get it working, I won't need it)
