 Wow, neat.

 compiler support is abstracted away into pkgsrc/mk/compiler.mk and the
 files in pkgsrc/mk/compiler/*. I think that's a better place to add
 support for aix versions of gcc (or a native compiler, if there is
 one).
 
 Can you take a look at these files? Come back with questions, or a patch if 
you can :)
 
 Thanks,
