Hello!

I'm interested in using exceptions and other final standard C++ thingies,
and I'm therefor waiting for g++ 2.8.x to show up. It's not in FreeBSD yet,
but is it out there somewhere?

If not, does anyone have any estimations at all on when it will be released?
And what will it handle? How finished is it? Any news?

Maybe also... where _should_ I have asked this? :) And is there any web
page with updated news on how development is going, etc?
