That is what I am working on docuementing.

That was the reason why I originally started looking into a GCC AST -->
PNET CSCC tree bridge.

I have not looked into the RTL, but I think that most of the
transformations should be done on the AST level and then sent to the
appropiate backends. 

This would allow for usage of the gcc to produce IL backend via the
pnet, or that was my idea.
