For about a year, we have had a Compiler Explorer instance that had some
local patches to make it more friendly (in my opinion), hosted
mozilla-specific compiler versions (kind of, they got out of date), and
most valuably had our header files, allowing you to e.g. quickly prototype
code to see if you were getting the string functions correct without a full
local compile cycle.

If you've never heard of this service before don't feel bad - it was never
advertised because it never got to a point where I was comfortable
advertising it.  But some people had found it and liked it and shared it.

It has been hobbling along for the past 9 months with no maintenance, and
at this point I think it's fair to say if I haven't gotten the time to fix
it in that timeframe, I'm not going to.

I would be happy to turn ownership of it over to someone if they are
interested[0], but absent that, I intend to turn it off sometime in the
next few weeks.

[0] Maintenance is primarily performing updates on the machine, updating
Compiler Explorer itself, updating the mozilla compilers when we bump them
and caring about and fixing the _very_ janky header-generation scripts
if/when they fail. (Or rewriting them.)
