Now when I see that the gnat-gcc packages actually are on the FTP servers, there's no need to panic. Those who are not comfortable with backwards compatibility stuff installed as a result of building from ports can just install the package. There's not really much to improve, except if I provide separate binaries for FreeBSD 5 and maybe 6. I'll keep abusing your bootstrapper till then ... and yeah, thanks for that too ;) -- Karel Miklav
