Well, we got GCC 3.0 ABI support off the New features list.  ObjC/C++
would push us back a long ways, and I don't remember what the
complications with readline4.2 were.

I wouldn't be averse to a quick 5.2 release from the trunk, otherwise. 
There's a few things it would be nice to have done first - I have more
C++ fixes, and the profiling patch has not AFAICR been committed yet. 
But there should be time.
