It still exists but there isn't much traffic.  Seems everyone wants to
edit, no on wants to write. (myself included).

How about lumping *everything* together so I don't ftp numerous
versions of common sub-functions, etc.  (getting close to time for a
gnu directory structure rather than a forest of package structures).

Actually, I agree.  gdb & cpp belong in the gcc dist or independant
dists.
