Very aware.  All my recent projects use ca65 or cc65.

Some of my cc65 (with minimal ca65 usage) projects:

http://jerkwerks.com/pi-day-rematch-apple-ii-vs-hp-41c/ (see the Victory 
Lap section)

An Apple-1 game (http://www.callapple.org/?s=codebreaker). BTW, I posted 
a patch to the cc65 mailing list last month to add Apple-1 support to cc65.

With respect to this project I started porting libqrencode to the Apple 
II with cc65.  The problem was the size of the executable.  I think I 
could have got it to fit with overlays, but then it would take a longer 
to start and I could not have stored it into AUX memory for a quick 
relaunch.  I could have extracted just the bits I needed out of 
libqrencode, but decided it would be quicker to pre-compute the bitmaps 
of the QR codes.

I recently posted to the cc65 mailing list re: TGI linking that you 
helped me with.  My request was initially for this project, but I opted 
to use assembly only.
