[Cooker] gcc naming conventions, dev version

[Blue Lizard]

When can we (testers) expect to see a shift from the '2.96' that doesn't 
entirely exist to the 3pre dev snapshots of gcc?  How much more to go 
until it becomes usable by your standards?  Is there some way to do a 
compat if gcc3 is so incredibly incompatible when building certain 
programs?  My homegrown (no standard distibution) p166 is currently 
compiling mozilla with the gcc 3 20010516 (prerelease).  So far no 
probs. but that says as close to nothing as possible.
