  Well I didn't finish rolling the lot over the weekend owing to reasons I'll
explain on the talk list, but I'm saying yes anyway.  First thing I'll do will
be reroll a 3.4.4-2 with the fix for PR-whateveritis about the C++
strings-vs-dlls problem.  Once that's done and seems ok, I'll look at making
an experimental package from one of the gcc 4 series.  (Anyone got any
preferences?)
