[abc] PLDI paper

I have been working on the format (ACM has a new conference proceedings
style) and the list of things we need to look at for the final version.
Ondrej and I discussed the experiments to do for intraproc cflow opts -
now that there are more of them, and he is working on those.

In the pldi05abc/ svn directory, the final version we will submit is
final.tex. I think most things with the new format have been resolved and
I have added the general terms, keywords and so on. We can add more/different
keywords if we want.

Also, in that directory is TODO.txt, which I include here:

----------- TODO.txt

1) Run around benchmarks -
         are there some other variations we can do on the inlining?

2) Run intraproc cflow benchmarks -
         decide if we should show both versions of handling threadlocals?

3) Run interproc cflow benchmarks

4) Check if performance difference between ajc 1.2 and 1.2.1 is due to
       cflow counters only

    In reality, there could be several effects:

           - using counters
           - better sharing of stacks/counters
           - not introducing extra copies of counters
               (may have had a bug in 1.2 - seemed to introduce too many
                    counters)
           - improvements in runtime lib (i.e. ThreadLocal ... did that come
                                                  between 1.2 and 1.2.1?)
           - some other optimization introduced in ajc between 1.2 and 1.2.½

5) Fix bib entries - make sure all titles have caps in right places and
        page numbers.

6) Change figure for reweaving and perhaps expand upon that section (one
        reviewer wanted more description of reweaving)

7) Decide if we should mention "other optimizations" or not. If so, fix them
    up.

8) Damien mentioned a variation of our inter-proc algorithm ... Damien ...
      what was it - something about not needed something on "all paths"?

9) Formatting of figures and tables. Does everything look ok. Should we put
      some of the code segments into figures?

Cheers, Laurie
