Thanks.  I've had an underwhelming response from the GCC mailing list
so far.

(i) Sure.

(ii) I have rewritten the code to work with libiberty but have not
fully retested it yet.  It is not used anywhere else yet but hopefully
it will be picked up for use with GCC since efficient bitsets are
going to become increasingly more important.  With any luck the code
should be maintenance free but I'm willing to support it.

I have attached a copy of my latest patch.  I would appreciate any
feedback to improve the consistency of the interface, say for example
the naming of functions, and for suggested improvements.

Michael.
