how long does it take to build gcc45?

[John B Brown]

Dear Tim,

	Because the MacPort process resumes at the point you aborted, you may calculate 
build time from the total of both partial times; 13hrs. + 6hrs. = 19hrs. for 
total build time. That total is close to what a bootstrap build from GNU source 
takes when all options are built in Linux on an INTEL single CPU system running 
about 2.0 to 2.5 Ghz.
