Note that some of us (numeric crunchers) are stuck to 2.95.x because, for
example, gcc-3.x.x built ATLAS library is known to be slower to when using
2.95.x and therefore 2.95.x compiler will not be obsolete for some time.

I am far from asking full support for gcc-2.95.x of BPL as on can always
keep two compilers around for different software but it is a bit
inconvinient...

I am looking forward to use BPL V2, I have had very good experience
with BPL V1.
