The "experimental" here is an attribute of the gcc version on which
Apple's version is based and it will probably stay there for a while. I
would bet that it'll still be there when Apple releases its gcc3 as
standard compiler.

I agree with you that we should not start changing fink info files in
order to accomodate what is right now a severely broken tool chain. The
problem with cpp-precomp will (hopefully) go away when the new dev tools
will be released. Right now we have the old cpp-precomp which does not
work at all with the new compiler, even if there is nothing to preprocess.

OTOH, it is better to be prepared when the new dev tools will come out,
so this discussion is perhaps not a complete waste of time. (Plus, the
feedback here is *way* better than on the Apple lists :-)).
