No work has been done to let gec compile several C files
concurrently. Currently it is a mere script compiling the
C files one after the other.

No work has been done either on trying to make the C code
generation incremental, and hence avoiding having to recompile
C code that has not changed between two successive compilations.

And no effort has been made to try to make the generated C
code as optimized as possible.

There are plenty of areas where gec can be improved. Which
means that there is room to make gec even better in the
near future. Currently my focus is more on the Eiffel part,
trying to make it more compliant with ISE Eiffel and more
generally with ECMA/ISO Eiffel.
