+If the package does not have any of the C++ runtime symbols, then a single package can be created. However if the package is gcc/ABI sensitive, then it should be released as two archives. Ideally one compiled with gcc2 and the other compiled with gcc4. For packages that are only compiled with one gcc, eg gcc4-only software, then a second archive should be created for use with gcc2hybrids.

+   1. add-ons go into */add-ons/<folder>/gcc4  -- eg, add-ons/Translators/gcc4
