And now it's really gone!

While I am no doubt very happy to see this happen, I just have to thank 
the FSF for keeping a competitive compiler for such a long time and 
raising the bar. When the project started and we needed a compiler, they 
were there.

We will also not miss it since we will continue to enjoy it as an 
important package in FreeBSD ports collection :).

Pedro.
