I think that, moving forward, if the package won't build using GCC 3.x
and there are no forthcoming updates or fixes, we should just mark the
package as BROKEN.  FWIW, for this particular package, I originally
imported it and I think I was probably the only one that ever used it.
There are much better C++ classes for cmdline support nowadays, and
devel/cmdline is dead code, so I say we should just remove it.
