Comment(by adfernandes@…):

 Well, personally, I'm all for using the lastest-and-greatest compiler...
 except when doing so breaks my codebase or forces me to recompile a
 zillion dependencies. A forced upgrade on boost, qt4, and kde4 will
 generate enough heat to keep Moscow warm all winter! :-)

 But... choice in compiler is one of the features `[sic]` of MacPorts. I'm
 not a core developer, just a heavy user, and really don't want to get into
 (what I suspect) is a religious war. Sometimes I feel like I have spent
 1/2 my life waiting for Gentoo to recompile my whole distro... and then
 the other 1/2 is waiting for Ubuntu or Fedora to update their packages
 because I need a build-option that they didn't include... :-)

 BTW - my default compiler (10.5.8) is still 4.0; I suspect you're on SL if
 your ''default'' compiler is 4.2. There are definitely optimizer changes
 between those two.

 Anyway - since you've taken over the port completely, I need your approval
 to commit. So - three questions:
    1. Can I commit the patch, so as per current MacPorts tao people can
 select their compiler?
    2. Do you want me to add `openmaintainer` to the port so that you don't
 need to be bothered with trivial updates? MacPorts policy allows commits
 without maintainer approval for '''trivial''' changes only; big changes
 require maintainer approval still.
    3. Are you adding the `[[BR]]` tags to the trac entries on purpose? I'd
 request you not do that; it makes the email summaries really hard to read!

 Thanks,
 -Andrew.
