Hi,

Thanks for your explanation.

I would like to create the following packages
lang/gcc48 ... meta package for all gcc 4.8.* compilers
lang/gcc48-cc++ ... C and C++ compilers (As far as I understand,
                    C and C++ compilers cannot be separated for gcc48)
lang/gcc48-gfortran ... Fortran 95/2003/2008 compiler
lang/gcc48-go ... Go language compiler
lang/gcc48-java ... Java compiler
lang/gcc48-objc ... Objective C and C++ compiler

for gcc47 or earlier, gcc4?-c and gcc4?-c++ will be separated.

But I am not sure I can create separate packages...
