+GCC-XML is the XML output extension to GCC. The purpose of the GCC-XML
+extension is to generate an XML description of a C++ program from GCC's
+internal representation. Since XML is easy to parse, other development
+tools will be able to work with C++ programs without the burden of a
+complicated C++ parser.
+
+GCC-XML project is not making formal releases since version 0.6.0,
+published back in February 2004; "lack of time" is cited as the reason
+on GCC-XML Web site. Thus, we're using CVS snapshot created for current
+version of corresponding Debian package, and hosted on Debian site;
+thanks to Debian guys for kindly allowing access to this resource.
