Need any volunteers?

I'd be interested in any work that relates to pointer analysis, 
including this as well as the " one to two years of work" Daniel 
mentioned. What held me back from submitting a proposal is the concern 
that such kind of explorative work whose outcome is not guaranteed to be 
useful may not be attractive enough to the LLVM devs.
