[HEADS UP] Re: setting gcc42 as default compiler

[Maho NAKATA]

Hello,

Once I thought that WITH_GNUGCJ is good, but it had not been
maintained for long time.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=107645

Also, lang/gcc42 and lang/gcc42-withgcjawt
CONFLICTS, (not explicitly stated though),
I'd like to remove it soon.

still I don't lost motivation for GCJ build,
as this is a free software, but many inputs are required.
