Hi,
	Just a clarification: by 3 and 4) you're not planning to remove
the current gcc4 (4.1) completely right? just out of the way for 4.2 in
unstable, correct?  I'd still like to keep each release branch around, as
I'm still usign/testing them periodically.  I was hoping to have their
suffixes renamed -4.x, but I can live with them conflicting, as I can just
switch between them with fink.

FWIW, I tested these out RC-1 (make check) on the various Macs I have
around, and all their tests passed.  Looks good.

Thanks again for all the maintainence work on these.
