We do this now for lang/gcc which is the default and preferred version
of GCC to use, and keep tracking upstream with lang/gcc46 et al.

Since then I have changed the Mk/bsd.gcc.mk system such that lang/gcc
is not only used when present, but also dragged in by default (for
package builds or local systems).


If you want stability and infrequent updates, lang/gcc it is now. :-)
