Now that  egcs-1.0.2 has been released  one week  ago, I guess, nobody
really cares about this issue anymore.

I'm very sorry that still no libstdc++-2.8.1.1 and libg++-2.8.1.1 have
been released, they are  finished and it's on  Richard Kenner  to copy
them to ftp.gnu.org.  Unfortunately, he'll be absent 'til Sunday.

Anyway, those particular shared libs will continue to use 2.8 as their
version  number  and 2.8.1.1 for the   file's  version number.  I just
compared  the  current egcs snapshot   with  libstdc++-2.8.1.1, and in
fact, libio and libstdc++ are almost identical.

Since  libstdc++.so.2.8.1 is out   now,  I suggest, we'd raise  egcs's
version number for lib{io/stdc++} to at least 2.8.1.2

What do you think?
