I see lots of people suggesting the use of GNU C++ as an implementation 
approach for toolkits. The last notice I saw about the GNU C++ distribution 
was something of the form "an alpha- release is available and use of GNU C++ 
is suggested only if you are willing to be faced with bugs and are familar 
with the internal structure of the GNU C compiler/backend".  I don't know 
about anyone else, but we have enough arrows in our backs with initial 
(pre)releases of X.11 that I'd just assume wait a bit before committing any 
project to GNU C++, like rewriting Xtk or Andrew Tookit in GNU C++.
