There've been a few users complaining that older versions of libstdc++-v3
won't work with GCC 3.0, when in fact GCC 3.0 already has newer, more
correct, versions of the library. Here're some notes to clarify the
situation until the next library snapshot.

* index.html: Mention GCC 3.0 (as containing libstdc++-v3).
* status.html: Likwise.

We suggest using CVS GCC. The latest library snapshot has also been
