Thanks!  I believe we should merge the gcc and g++ pages; after all, there
are other frontends as well, and having many such pages makes maintainance
harder.

Ack.

Fine.

Ouch.  What qualifies a sponsor?  If these two are listed, even though
they _are_ prominent companies in GCC-land, we need to list at least a
dozen of further ones (SuSE, Gaby's company, I assume IBM, Motorola?,
Apple,...).

Frankly, having such detailed information on a page that is beyond our
direct control and maintainance is a Big Thing.  I'd much prefer also
giving proper credits to companies in doc/contrib.tex (= thanks.html)
and remove those two entries.
