Lots of Amiga-types have been pointing out the benefits of performing
compilations in the background while doing other stuff.

I'd like the answers to 2 questions:
1) Will MPW (Macintosh Programmers Workshop) be compatible with MultiFinder?
2) Will the necessary calls to GetNextEvent (or whatever) be inserted
   into the MPW C compiler so that it can run as a background task under
   MultiFinder?

Since the dance notation editor that I am working on takes an hour and
40 minutes to recompile under MPW, it would be *really nice* if I could
use the Macintosh for other purposes while the compile is running.
