I had some problems with reportbug when filing this. I've corrected the
title.
As for removing it, I've orphaned it, so I suppose my opinion doesn't
really matter anymore. Do what you want with it.
It's useful (to me, anyway) and lintian clean, but upstream is not active,
and it's written in non-portable C++.
It works great on any non-GCC 3.0 system, but it seems like a fairly
hopeless situation trying to compile on HPPA.
My opinion is, keeping it around, at this time, is a good idea, but in the
long run it'll get removed when GCC 3.0 becomes the "standard".
It's a good clean package now, but I see it has an "expiration date" when
GCC 3.0 becomes standard and I know I'm not going to be able to fix it.
Meanwhile, perhaps someone with alot of spare time and GCC 3.0 experience
will adopt either the package or upstream?
I can be hopeful, I guess.
