cygwin g++ version story?

[Brian Blais]

Hello,

Could someone tell me why the octave package for cygwin is compiled with 3.3.3, 
when
a later version exists?  Is this because of the slowdown reported with 3.4, due 
to
how jump conditions are handled?  The reason I ask is that I believe I can get 
my
fltk package working in cygwin, but dealing with 3.3.3 is annoying, because 
everytime
I have to add a new package, cygwin tries to upgrade me.  The fltk package that 
comes
with cygwin is compiled with 3.4, so I have to compile my own fltk.  As far as
end-users, this puts another barrier to the use of octave in Windows.


                thanks,


                        Brian Blais
