+ killing options:
+ nice research in:
+ http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Whiteboards/KillOptions

+ but: three font-selectos in the paragraph
style dialog, not ideal.
+ (Caolan) 'C' locale is a 'no idea what people want' locale
the categories are the same as MS Office.
add an easy one-click button to see these ?
* CXX0X-ABI incompatibility can of worms (Bjoern)
+ gcc 4.7 - cxx0x extension is binary incompatible
+ incompatible stdlib symbols that bust
+ http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-06/msg00201.html
+ luck that it worked until now: it was compatible.
AA: + should disable in our builds by default (Bjoern)
+ not easy to detect; crashers like:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51342
+ show up randomly.
+ lots of cascading dependencies of different ABI's ...
+ serious long-run problem for building vs. system packages
+ potentially accelerates our move away from a single
image that runs on every linux if disros pick up
the new ver.

+ goes away when gerrit owns the repo.
+ multiple efforts to update the helper scripts
AA: + work on unifying spaetz + David's tools (Bjoern)
+ please review mst's patches for the -3-5 branch (mst)
