I think this is an excellent suggestion. In the future I'll watch out
for ABI changing C++ patches and will link them from the respective
changes.html page. Janis, would you mind also keeping an eye on that? ;-)
If the libstdc++ folks could provide as a pointer whenever the change
the ABI, that would be great as well.
