 * Yep, alas, that's progression for ye.  We have never supported mix
 * & match of sourceballs from different releases.  We do our best
 * to support running old executables on newer systems, but that's a
 * completely different issue.

Speaking for Satoshi Asami, the ports guy, I agree with John.

I for one will hate to see the ports people having to worry about
4.0-gcc (they already have 4.0-egcs and 3.1-gcc to worry about...).
