I agree, writing a reliable compiler is more work than I originally thought,
(Not to mention the manual).  My compiler (basic18) is over 22k lines of code
and only targets the 18Xxxx series.  It has taken about 1 year to write.  I
hope the dsPIC version goes a bit faster!  Even though it has been a lot of
work, it has been fun.
