I am strongly against writing a new compiler. That is too much effort. 
And the compiler also falls under the APL1.0 (as a binary). So in some 
sense it is free. And we need not worry about using it.

The biggest problem is that we cannot fix compiler bugs ourselves. For 
that aldor.org must be asked at the moment. Unfortunately, as far as I 
know, there is nobody currently working on compiler fixes. That is a 
very big minus!
