Here is a snip from a Digital Preview interview posted yesterday:
DCW: With the M4/3 system it should be possible to use Leica M-mount
lenses through a converter. I'm excited about the potential of using
those old interchangeable rangefinder types of lenses, but will it be possible?
OGAWA: As an interchangeable-lens camera system, [M4/3] will have the
shortest flange-back distance, so it should be possible. I personally
hope that it becomes possible. As a lens-mount standard, some
problems may occur in guaranteeing operation, so it may not be
possible to support it from the corporate perspective, but I do hope
that it comes about.

Seeing typical Olympus digital SLR prices for bodies in the $400 to
$1500 (Pro E-3) range, this could be the best thing ever for
resurrecting our M lenses with an affordable and proven standard!
