Many of egcs users, I believe, assume that a code
compiled with egcs's gcc/g++ could be compiled eventually
with the official gcc-<l>.<m>.<n>.
Therefore, we would all like to help with early feedback on further
gcc development.
So the questions are really:
* How gcc's official release is determined.
* What are the egcs features that will not make it
into the next gcc release.
* What is the expected time length for a bug-fix in some egcs snap-shot
to propogate to the official gcc release.
Much thanks -- yotam
