I don't think we are ready.  Have you looked at the glob implementation 
I prototyped on my personal SF pages?  We should seriously consider 
having that rolled into 4.0; final implementation may need some 
discussion, prior to release.

That may be advisable.  How are we going to handle the GCC-4.7 vs. 
earlier GCC ABI break?  Two parallel binary releases?  Or are we just 
going to abandon those who may prefer not to upgrade to GCC-4.7 yet?
