I am pleased to announce the release of Mes 0.14, representing 98
commits over 4 weeks.  Mes+MesCC now compiles a self-hosting TinyCC
that has only been slightly patched.

This means that we can now build a tcc that depends only on a 1MB
ASCII M1 seed.  GuixSD currently uses a ~250MB binary seed to build
gcc.

Next targets are: build gcc using this almost full-source bootstrapped
tcc, and reduce the 1MB ASCII M1 seed to ~100KB of M2 source, which is
a restricted subset of C.

you are doing very awesome work! please keep going and please keep
informing us about your progress! & thanks & have fun! :)
