Hi,
  
I am going to rename the poc (portable object compiler) package to objc if
no-one objects.  The upstream author requested this.  Also, libgc4 (boehm
gc) support is dropped.  A new additional package will be introduced with
libgc5 support.

We do have another ObjC compiler: gobjc. I think objc is too general as 
it's the short name for the language as well. why not use
portable-objc or portable-objc-compiler?

 or pobjc.

  Yeah, pobjc was my second preference.

Does this mean that this compiler can deal with objective C?

[Note: this isn't an objection, but if you do this and they're not the
same thing you'll need to deal with the confusion somehow.]

The POC handles Objective-C by translating it to C++, IIRC.
