That is, any C++ code.  'Kay.

That's fine by me (although Ralf will probably be a little torqued; qt & 
kde ...) -- I just wanted to know if I had to recompile all of my 
packages, which are mostly library-providers, AGAIN for the fourth time 
in less than a month.

At which point it would've gotten ugly.

But, it appears that I don't have to do that, except for ncurses 
(cygncurses++7.dll).  So I'm happy...
