Below is a link to an email thread where Ben Potter submitted a patch
set to implement g71 into the interpreter in 2012. It was never accepted.

Andy Pugh has updated the patch set to apply to the 2.8 branch (big
thanks Andy!)...

https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/BenPotter/G71

I would really appreciate some feedback as to what needs done for this
to get accepted. I don't want to spend a bunch of time on it if it isn't
going to go anywhere. It would be great if it can be used as a starting
point to finally get the lathe roughing cycles implemented.

Thanks,
Todd
