[Oberon] Interfacing with Foreign Systems

[Chris Burrows]

The same spirit perhaps but as always the devil is in the detail. Jan was
specifically suggesting 'see if an Oberon frontend to gcc is manageable'. 

I did have a look at the page you referenced but the warning at the top says
it all:

"Note: The information on this page is very out of date. I have not found
the time to update it in a meaningful way."
