+GCC 2.8.0 is the latest release of the GNU compiler suite.
+It is a port for now, until its stableness is proven.
+
+C++ support, and in particular template support, is vastly improved over
+gcc-2.7. G++ 2.8.0 also compiles SGI's offical reference implimentation
+of the STL.
+
+Beware: This port installs new versions of "gcc", "g++", and so forth
+into the "${PREFIX}/bin" directory. Mind your PATHs if you don't want
+to use this compiler by default. However, "cc" and "c++" will not
+be hidden by this port.
