This port doesn't create any libraries, so it's sufficient that eg++ can link against the system libraries. That part seems to be working so far. I'd gotten the impression that updating the system compiler was something that was going to happen fairly early in 4.0's lifetime, so I was really fishing for a hint as to which of the candidates it would be so I could use it. Failing that, I'll go with egcs since that seems to be what the author is using. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
