It's possible with rather simple editting specs file but then another 
problem will appear if somebody does not want to install C++ 
support (libstdcxx.a is in gpp281b.zip not gcc281b.zip and as I 
think should be there). So I'm against such solution.

The question is how to force newbies to read readme files and FAQ 
before asking questions in mailing list.
