FUTURE GOALS
------------
Listed in order of priority :-

* Continue eliminating bugs.  If you find one, make sure you report it
  as maybe no-one else will!

* Improvements to library performance, based on real usage as reported
  by users.  If you find your code is running slower than Mawk/Gawk,
  why not forward me an example.  I have no idea how fast Awka is 
  compared to Tawk.

  There are several benchmark tests in the benchmark directory (where 
  else?) - more & better ones would be useful.
  
  At present regular expressions are quite slow.  This is a complex issue
  to solve, but I'm working on a solution as & when I get time to do so.

* Useful debug warning messages to tell you if you've got common bugs in
  your AWK program, such as the old typo error with variable names.
  
  The framework data structures for these are now present in the translator;
  I just need time to implement them.

* Gawk extensions to regular expressions and printf format specifiers.

* More efficient, complete and elegant C language generation, including
  nice things like generation of commented code, and preservation of
  AWK program comments.

* More platforms, maybe including a Windoze DLL compile of the library.
  As both Cygnus and DJGPP are supported, I'm not currently too concerned
  about doing a native Windows version.
