+<pre>
+We had a meeting of the Mercury group on Fri April 27, 2001,
+from 3.15pm to 3.45pm
+
+Attendees:
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs)
+ Simon Taylor (stayl)
+ Mark Brown (dougl)
+ David Overton (dmo)
+
+Progress reports
+
+ We went around the table, with each person in turn discussing what
+ they had been working on recently and/or what they were planning
+ to work on.
+
+ Simon Taylor (stayl):
+ - Still working on smart recompilation.
+
+ Mark Brown (dougl):
+ - Working on the search strategy for the declarative debugger.
+ - Has been using the declarative debugger to debug itself.
+
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs):
+ - Has been working on making the deep profiler more usable.
+ - Started merging the deep profiling CVS branch back onto
+ the main branch.
+ - Produced a script (tools/cvdd) to perform a diff between two
+ workspaces.
+ - Reworked the optimization level handling to avoid invoking
+ the lazy code generator and value numbering. With some
+ recently added optimization passes, the eager code generator
+ produces equally good code with less compilation time.
+
+ David Overton (dmo):
+ - Has been fixing performance problems with ROBBDs.
+
+ Fergus Henderson (fjh):
+ Didn't attend the meeting, but sent a progress report
+ by e-mail:
+
+ - Installed autoconf 2.13 on murlibobo (to fix a problem for
+ Cygwin in the `configure' that we ship with our source
+ distributions).
+ - Tested the Mercury compiler on Tru64 5.1 using an Oct 2000
+ snapshot of gcc, since our sysadmins are planning to
+ upgrade murlibobo's CPUs and OS. Happily, it worked fine
+ out-of-the-box.
+ - Sent off page for MS TechEd DVD.
+ - Sent off long letter to MS regarding VSIP license.
+ - Chased up GCC copyright assignment
+ (still not yet resolved, <sigh>).
+ - Fixed a bug where the compiler was silently accepting some
+ incorrect code involving typeclasses.
+ - A little more work towards eliminating dependencies on
+ Cygwin.
+ - Some code reviewing.
+
+Minutes taken by Simon Taylor (stayl at cs.mu.oz.au).
