..well, that's why we call it "experimental" ;o), to find out 
_how_ it breaks, the idea was find bugs with gcc-4.5.* and 
gcc-4.4.*, so I should get to blame you when the darn thing 
even doesn't install. ;o)

..a fix would have the experimental stuff depend on 
"gcc-4.3 || gcc-4.4 || gcc-4.5" etc as they appear.
