They are in the tree pending a future update of the PAR/GRAN code; but
it now looks like the GPH developers would prefer that the old code be
removed from the tree entirely, so at some point we'll do that. It's
not a big deal, actually I'd prefer if it was left in for now because
I'm making changes to the GC and if I can avoid conflicts it'll save me
time.

You mean the ILX stuff, or foreign import dotnet? ILX I think is dead,
I'm not so sure about foreign import dotnet.

I don't think so - Sigbjorn currently builds the Windows installers
using his own tools.
