Very good. Actually merging the CVS repositories is another challenge,
but I guess there are plenty CVS experts around.

Actually, this is what I had in mind. It is pretty much in line with
other default settings, such as

#ifndef DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS
#define DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS 1
#endif
int dollars_in_ident = DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS;

With that change, people don't have to pass -fhonor-std every time
they invoke a libstdc++-v3 based compiler. The default configuration
should just work, allowing

g++ hello.cc
./a.out

IOW, options that you must specify to get anything to work at all are
a bad thing, they really should be options.
