It's hard to imagine the traffic getting high enough to make that
advisable, though.  Since g++ will some day be ANSI standard, none of
this effort is wasted, and those of us living on shoe strings can lurk
and experiment with our 30 day evaluation copies of KCC ;-).

Seeing excellent work being placed into the public domain by very
capable DOE scientists noticibly lifts my spirits.

(Speaking as an academic who hasn't paid US income taxes in about 10
years,)

Thanks, Phil
