What I have been working on most recently is a patch to the test suite to add a command-line option to choose a different compiler. I realized that my strategy of writing a separate test suite for CPS will never get close to our 35,000+ Guile tests, and also can't be reused the next time we want to test a new compiler. So my goal is to let the test suite use the CPS compiler, and then just systematically fix any bugs I find until things pass. If anyone else wants to work on this, they are more than welcome to jump in. Noah
