I know it's a bit late for this, but I'm slowly catching up on my unread
emails:

dev-cpp sounds like stuff releated to a C pre-processor? Can't
categories contain the '+' char? e.g dev-c++?

we did relax the requirement on package names so they can contain '+' in them, 
but i think we should keep our unspoken anal rules about category names ... 
only alphanumeric and a single '-'

Might I suggest dev-cxx?  CXX is a fairly common ASCIIfication of C++,
after all.

maybe, but cpp is almost as common and not really worth the hassle of a 
category rename
