I recall a lot of talk on this topic, but don't seem to remember anything
sepcific... All I am sure of is that in general the problem is not simple
- practically unsolvable (some problems associated with this task may be
even proved to be NP etc.). Any way the issue is usually the complier not
the language compiled.
I heartly suggest you post this question on comp.compilers - where I will
continue to see who has answers.
