I'm putting the finishing touches on the egcs-1.0.2 release for
cygwin32 b19 (there are two changes from my snapshot patches -- see
below), so if you have any last minute suggestion/advice on packaging,
please speak up.  The things that I worry about are little details like
"header.gcc", ie., the header map file", etc. What else should I worry
about?

I'll build with ``--prefix=/Cygnus --exec-prefix=/Cygnus/B19'' to replace
the current b19 setup. Hopefully that means that the end user does not 
need to add any new environment variables besides what's already there 
in Cygnus.bat file.

The only change from the 980309 snapshot is that I'm pulling my C++
patches c++-expl-templ.diff and libstdc++.diff. These were there to
work around a linker bug initially that's been fixed (.rdata$* fix in
980303).  There is however a known, at least to me, bug in the C++
front end's handling of explicitly instantiated templates that contain
static constant data, but implicit template instanatiation work just
fine.

I'm running the testsuite now, and I'll probably build the final version
tomorrow.
