Well, nobody's offered such a thing to date, but I'd also have to say this was a little bit late considering as I've already spent about $10K on a contractor for the new package system. It's sort of waiting in the wings for our compiler technology to catch up since the contractor in question is also an avid C++ programmer and past the point where gcc 2.7.2.1 is able to support his efforts (2.7.2's C++ support is broken in a variety of well-known ways). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
