I am in the process of installing protoize/unprotoize. This apparently
requires gcc 1.36 to be rebuilt with a fairly hefty set of patches.

What effect do these changes have on g++? G++ uses many of the gcc 1.36
source files. Seems to me that if I apply the protoize patches and then 
attempt to rebuild g++, something will go wrong. Is this true?

I also wonder if there are plans to make protoize/unprotoize (or at least
the relevant compiler patches) a permanent part of future versions of gcc.
(Of course, once GNU C takes over the world, we won't need protoize anymore :-)

Thanks,

Georg.
