I think this is a good idea.

I will be in Japan from 2-13 July. Perhaps we could get togther for a 
few hours and work out a plan which meets both our needs.

One possibility is:

Most of the code comes from opencobol.

Except

- preprocessor (cobol4gcc is complete implementation of COPY/REPLACE)
- GCC integration

Then we could both pick features to work on and get it done twice as fast.
