If it's too difficult/hack-needed to separate the C and C++
compiler/libraries,
then I won't be too upset if they're combined into one spell (perhaps just
"gcc", or should that be a meta-spell for all the compilers? I like that
idea...). Anyone else have a problem with having gcc-c (or gcc-cpp or
gcc-c++?)
providing both C and C++? Most of our packages use C or C++ so there's not
much
reason in separating them, right? Other than to be "clean". ;)
