Hi Helmut,

it's not that scary. But there are 2 or 3 helpful features in the
extension. Mainly in the area of initialization of classes and
variables. I already cross checked with the Windows compiler and it's fine.

I just wanted to know if there are distributions with a GCC not
supporting the extensions. Or having any other reasoning not to use that
stuff.
