JF,
I have been pondering the idea of adding a gcc45-dev splitoff
that would contain the %p/bin compiler symlinks so that the
Conflicts could be changed from gcc4x to gcc4x-dev and a
functional compiler would be remain when gcc4x-dev was deinstalled.
Unfortunately this will coordinated changes in all of the gcc4x
packages and those packages that use them.
