Excellent.

Are the trunk sources /that/ easy to get working with the 3.0.x compiler?

/Damn/ I'm impressed.  :-)  Given the number of changes that tweaked
(or broke) the ABI, I'd just assumed that mixing trunk library and branch
compiler was a no-no.  God, I love being wrong!

So, I take it this means both the following are true:

A)  there are no plans to ever roll library snapshots from any branches
    (makes sense to me)

B)  bleeding-edge 3.0 users can unpack gcc-3.0.3.tar.gz, unpack
    libstd....whatever-modified-for-3-0-3....tar.gz over top of the
    libstdc++-v3 source tree, bootstrap, and basically have mainline
    library code with the stable compiler?

If I have that last correct, I'll need to write up specific instructions.

Yeah, I can do that.

It will be a few days; the day job will be freakishly busy for a bit.
