As things stand I've only rolled one set of packages, so it will throw the
switch for both. I guess that could be a bit inconvenient for 1.5 users who
will have to add -static if they want full C++ compliance. I could change it
to only throw the switch for 1.7 if people think that's desirable, this is
just the sort of thing I wanted to get people's feelings on.
