I have no problem with moving up to the 5.8.x series compiler and supporting
it to keep a Borland option alive.  The only problem is at the moment we have
no regression tester for it at the moment.  And from what I've read on this
list it isn't much better than the old compiler.  So even this is alot of work
for a compiler not many will likely be using.
