Or, better for me (and a few other people, I suspect), how about getting a
galgol68 (i.e., an ALGOL-68 front-end for the GNU compiler)?  Supposedly, a
pascal front-end is mostly-done, so I would imagine that might be a good
reference port (mix C and Pascal, and you're close 8-)).

*sigh*  Things to do if I had the time...
