We already have the provision to do this, through the GCC: field, so in
theory we should be in good shape.  (I presume the ABI changed again
between apple's 4.0 and 4.2?)

C++ code in Fink will already be using the GCC: 4.0 field, so there will
be no ABI conflict issues.  If individual packages can move to 4.2
without messing up packages which depend on them, they can say so.

(Of course, we still need to update fink to accept 4.2 as valid option
there.)

Good to hear...
