And, g++ is not at all easy to bring up on a NeXT machine. This alone
will take substantial effort.

I wish NeXT would support g++ since I like the ability to define operators
and I like garbage collection. Then again, I would use these features
mostly only for constructing a matrix extension to C, that would allow me
to do such things as

	A = B + C

where all three variables are matrices...
