If the port is already reasonably stable I think it would be good to
suggest it as a solution when users have problems with missing C++
features (with the usual caveats about beta software of course).

The impression I had was that the snapshots were mainly for testing by
other djgpp-workers.  If the snapshots are useable by mortal users
perhaps a call for beta testers would help (sorry if I missed it).

BTW, if anyone is still looking for a mention of DJGPP on the gcc pages,
it *is* there, just not under GCC 3.0 Release Criteria.

From http://gcc.gnu.org, "Platforms" -> "DOS" -> "binaries" -> "DJGPP".
