I agree. It also causes some interesting packaging problems (you can
automate the creation of header.gcc and renaming of the files, but it's
still error-prone). There are a still a few useful classes in there, such
Random or whatever it's called, but not enough of those to be worth the 
hassle.

In retrospect, I should've left it out of egcs-1.1 binary distributions,
even though a handful of people requested it.
