g++ on the hurd?

[Daniel Burrows <dburrows@brown.edu>]

  I just tried to port aptitude to the Hurd (now that apt is finally
officially in the archive), and discovered that I had removed g++ while
bringing everything up-to-date a few days ago.  Trying to install it revealed
that only the g++ dummy package is available on the Hurd; the actual compiler
(g++-2.95) doesn't appear to be ported yet.

  Is this the case?  (apt was built on the Hurd, so I thought there must be
a working C++ compiler somewhere)  If g++ is really not ported, is anyone
working on this, or should I download the gcc source, start the build, and
pray nothing crashes before it completes?
