The compiler itself works and can be loaded into 3.9 without problems.
Error messages are much improved and unlike your standard SmaCC error
messages. Performance is lower. There is a lot of work going on in the
decompiler and I don't know the exact state of this.

You should ask Marcus about what the current status exactly is. Or Klaus.
