Be careful with that!  Most users have left GCC-3 behind.  There is no 
MinGW java for GCC-4, due to breakage upstream.  If you install GCC-4, 
you cannot use this GCC-3 java.  If you install this GCC-3 java, then 
you may be stuck with GCC-3.4.5.

We do not support concurrent installation of GCC-3 and GCC-4, unless you 
isolate them in *completely* independent sysroots.
