I tried out a CVS version of GCC a few days ago to try out the PCH
support in the next compiler.  It ICEed with a segmentation fault when
trying to compile a header file that only included boost/python.hpp. 
Given that failure, my only comment is that it will be hard to
operationally test Pyste's support for PCH with GCC.
