*** Changes since EGCS 1.0:

* Massive template improvements:
+ member template classes are supported.
+ template friends are supported.

* For class D derived from B which has a member 'int i', &D::i is now of
type 'int B::*' instead of 'int D::*'.
+* An _experimental_ new ABI for g++ can be turned on with -fnew-abi. The
+ current features of this are more efficient allocation of base classes
+ (including the empty base optimization), and more compact mangling of C++
+ symbol names (which can be turned on separately with -fsquangle). This
+ ABI is subject to change without notice, so don't use it for anything
+ that you don't want to rebuild with every release of the compiler.
