Ah.  And here I've just been downgrading everybody in my lab to 0.1_4.  I'll
check out the new functionality and update our on-site documentation.

Was there any obvious way to know this (i.e. changelogs or something of the
like?  I'd not have thought to look at the port manpage for this update
(even though you say it was non-existent).

Perhaps gcc_select could have been relegated to a simple script that just
echoed "use the new syntax" message, and then phased out for the next
version.

Thanks for the info!
Jason
