Yo!

A little bit of a pointer regarding the Mes compiler work.

I discussed this with Janneke and Vagrant on IRC, but I don't think this work is
really proving DDC as explained by David. Mes is still built by gcc, albeit with
different versions, which produced the reproducible Mes binary, but this doesn't
produce a Mes compiler from a *trusted* compiler. It's all still just gcc. I
know vagrant tried sending an email to David and ask for some input but haven't
heard if he got any replies.

The intention of this email is not to lessen the amazing work done by this by
the way :)!
