mmm - I guess I am ready to go to 4.x in general, just wondering when
it would be 'safe'.  This is for my home system and I would prefer to
do a source code update in place...

I suppose this will be OK once the branch is tagged and a few people
_haven't_ complained that the upgrade melted down their systems.  I
guess 4.0 will be a major change but I don't have anywhere to back
up...

   This is perhaps tangential, but if you wish to use gcc-2.95.2 for your
   projects, why not install the "egcs" port (it's actually gcc-2.95.2)?
