There will be the same problem WRT C++ when upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0
either way.  Both "g++-2.95.2 -fno-vtable-thunks" and 
"g++-2.95.2 -fvtable-thunks" are incompatible C++ platforms from G++
2.7.x.  People wishing to use C++ programs compiled on FreeBSD 3.x need
to install the ``compat3x'' distribution to get the libstdc++.so.?
compatibility library.

For ports those same people will have to keep their 3.x compiled C++ libs
(in /usr/local/lib & /usr/X11R6/lib) around how ever they like.  Again,
this requirement would be the same with or w/o the C++ ABI change I just
made.
