Hello Brooks.

The port www/libxul does now compile with option USE_GCC=4.6+. I needed
to remove the former config via "make rmconfig" first. Something went
wrong on two FBSD10 boxes when the update was performed automatically
and the config remained "old".

It still fails compiling with CLANG.

If you still want me to do the experiment, please give me a note.
