Is it currently possible to check this tree out of CVS and get a
buildable, working gcc with Objective-C++ support?  There's nothing
I'd like more than to see if it's possible to finally get a

rendering engines are written in C++, this would be a huge boon.  In
fact, it might even be somewhat trivial to port over Camino... hehe,
we'll see :)
