Since 3.0 is still quite some time away, can 2.95.3 finally be released?
Some very major bugs have been fixed, but commits have been very cautious
to that branch.  I'd almost imagine all that would be needed is to do a
checkout and tar it up.

With Mandrake shipping the top of the 2.95 branch (as does FreeBSD) and
RedHat shipping some 2.96 snapshot, I think this sends a message that
GCC releases are not forth coming as often as the OS vendors would like.
In 12 days, 2.95.2 will be one year old.
