As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Our current C++
development process seems to be working well; there are still more bugs
than I'd like, but we are making huge progress.

The old libg++ model allowed for looser coupling: bug fix versions of
libg++ could be released at a different pace than bug fix versions of the
compiler, but the first two digits of version numbers had to match.
This gave the ability to release bug fixes for one without doing a new
release of the other.
