AFAIK there is no reason for a cc *script*, so I think cc should just be
part of the alternatives, pointing to whichever of gcc-{3,4}. I agree
that there need not be a cc-{3,4}, and all of the above would also apply
for c++ and f77/f95.
As for c89/c99, +1 on the script idea; separate versions are definitely
not necessary. Are there supposed to be similar names for the ISO C++
standards (c++98 and c++0x)?
